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

backgroundHemodialysis (HD) patients have high unemployment rates associated with higher mortality and poor quality of life. Changes in employment status prior to dialysis initiation may predict subsequent patient outcomes. We sought to examine US national trends in employment status prior to and at HD initiation, risk factors for job loss and their association with transplantation and mortality.

methodsEmployment was defined as working full-time or part-time for 496 989 patients initiating maintenance HD from 2006 to 2015. Associations between patient and dialysis facility characteristics and employment change were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. Cox regression was used to assess job loss with mortality and transplantation.

resultsAbout 26% (

conclusionsEmployment rates among HD patients are low and employment changes common during the 6 months prior to HD. Maintaining employment status was associated with key patient and facility characteristics, kidney transplantation and survival.
