Atrial fibrillation and associated outcomes in patients with peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis: a 14-year nationwide population-based study.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPatients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing dialysis have increased risks of atrial fibrillation (AF).
objectiveTo investigate dialysis-related incident AF and associated outcomes.
methodsPatients with dialysis were retrieved using data from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database during 2001-2013. Patients were separated into peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) according to their initial modality. Primary outcome was new-onset AF. Secondary outcomes were AF-associated ischemic stroke (IS)/systemic embolism (SE) and hemorrhagic stroke.
resultsA total of 158,910 dialytic patients were retrieved. After exclusion criteria, a total of 117,023 patients with ESRD undergoing dialysis were separated into 12,659 patients on PD and 104,364 patients on HD. There were 458 PD patients with subsequent development of AF, and 6216 HD patients with subsequent development of AF. At end of follow-up, patients on PD and HD had AF incidence densities of 7.8 and 8.8 events per 1000 person-years, the SHR of PD versus HD was 0.83 (95% CI 0.73-0.94). The SHR of PD versus HD was 1.07 (95% CI 0.80-1.44) for IS/SE and the SHR of PD versus HD was 0.34 (95% CI 0.13-0.90) for hemorrhagic stroke.
conclusionIn patients with ESRD undergoing dialysis, PD had lowered risks of new onset of AF compared to HD. Subsequently, these AF patients in PD group had comparable incidence of ischemic stroke but decreased incidence of hemorrhagic stroke compared to AF patients in HD group. PD could be the most suitable modality in patients at risk for the onset of AF.
