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

The number of frail patients reaching end-stage kidney disease is increasing. They have a high level of comorbidity and symptom burden which need to be considered when making management plans. For those who choose renal replacement therapy, it is important to establish goals and ceilings of care and to provide holistic care focusing on optimising quality of life. Advance care planning is the process of documenting the patient's preferences for their treatment in the event they lose capacity to make decisions about their treatment.
