1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCritical limb ischemia (CLI) and intradialytic hypotension (IDH) are common complications in patients on hemodialysis (HD). However, limited data are available on whether IDH is related to CLI in these patients. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether IDH is a risk factor for CLI in HD patients.

methodsWe examined the frequency of IDH in 147 patients who received HD between January 1 and June 30, 2012. Blood pressure was measured during HD every 30 min and IDH was defined as a ≥ 20 mmHg fall in systolic blood pressure compared to 30 min before and a nadir intradialytic systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg. The primary study outcome was newly developed CLI requiring revascularization treatment or CLI-related death. We assessed the association of IDH with outcome using a multivariable subdistribution hazard model with adjustment for male, age, smoking and history of cardiovascular disease.

resultsThe median follow-up period was 24.5 months. Fifty patients (34%) had episodes of IDH in the study entry period. During follow-up, 14 patients received endovascular treatment and CLI-related death occurred in 1 patient. Factors associated with incident CLI in univariate analysis were age, smoking, diabetes mellitus, peripheral arterial disease, history of cardiovascular disease, and IDH. IDH was significantly associated with the outcome with the subdistribution hazard ratio of 3.13 [95% confidence interval, 1.05-9.37].

conclusionsIDH was an independent risk factor for incident CLI in patients on HD.
