Correlations between serum inflammatory markers and comorbidities in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesChronic inflammatory processes are common in patients with renal disease, especially those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), in whom inflammatory markers have been shown to increase with renal function deterioration. ESRD is usually accompanied by other chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. The relationships between ESRD comorbidities and serum levels of inflammatory markers have not yet been fully understood. The aim of this study was to assess serum levels of inflammatory markers in different ESRD cohorts and to investigate the correlations between these inflammatory markers and disease comorbidities.
methodsA total of 147 patients were grouped according to their comorbid conditions: diabetic only, hypertensive only, diabetic and hypertensive, and neither diabetic nor hypertensive. Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) were investigated in different ESRD cohorts by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsSerum CRP and TNF-α levels were high in diabetic patients (
conclusionsOur results showed that, in ESRD patients, CRP and TNF-α seem to be largely affected by patients' comorbidities, unlike IL-1β, which might be affected more by the dialysis process even in the absence of comorbidities.
