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

Vascular calcification (VC) is an important promoter of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Several indices can be used to evaluate VC, including the abdominal aortic calcification index (AACI) and carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT); however, simpler and lesser expensive predictors, such as the radial augmentation index (RAI), should be investigated. A total of 101 patients undergoing PD were recruited to measure RAI, AACI, and carotid artery IMT and perform echocardiography. Fifty healthy controls (HCs) were recruited to undergo RAI measurement. RAI in patients undergoing PD was significantly higher than the RAI in HCs (86.25%±8.39% vs. 76.05%±9.81%,
