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

purposeTo compare the economic burden and cost-utility analysis of the renal replacement therapies, including hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and allograft kidney transplantation (KT) among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients from Yunnan Province, China.

methodsMultistage stratified random sampling method was used to select presentative sample of 298 patients from four hospitals in Yunnan Province. The two-step model was applied to calculate a direct economic burden; the human capital approach was used to analyze the indirect economic burden. SF-36 scale was applied to assess the quality of life, while the improving score of quality of life was used to evaluate the cost-utility score.

resultsA total of 298 patients were analyzed, including 108 HD patients, 91 PD patients and 99 KT patients. The mean unit economic expenses of HD, PD, and KT were $11,783.6 ± 402.63, $11,059.8 ± 709.51, and $21,151.1 ± 11,419.57, respectively. Based on the cost-utility analysis, the cost of improving one unit of quality of life in KT, PD, and HD was $599.86, $1373.89 and $2021.20, respectively; a significant difference was observed between the KT group and the HD or PD group (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe economic burden of ESRD in Yunnan was substantial. The cost-utility was the best in the renal transplantation group. Kidney transplantation is still recommended as the first approach for patients with ESRD, followed by PD.
