Maturation of arteriovenous fistulas in patients with and without preexisting hemodialysis catheters.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCentral venous catheter (CVC) placement has been linked to systemic inflammation. This study was conducted to compare the successful maturation of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and the preoperative white blood cell (WBC) profiles between patients with and without preexisting CVCs. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted with 550 patients who underwent first-time AVF creation. Patients were divided into three groups according to preexisting CVCs and CVC types as follows: tunneled CVC (
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 61.1 ± 14.3 years. The AVF maturation rates of the tunneled CVC, nontunneled CVC and no CVC groups were 65.2%, 54.7% and 74.7%, respectively (
conclusionPreexisting nontunneled CVC had a negative impact on the successful maturation of the newly created AVF. Patients in the nontunneled CVC group had the highest preoperative WBC and neutrophil counts but the lowest lymphocyte percentage compared to patients in the other two groups.
