Early technique failure in peritoneal dialysis patients in a multi-ethnic Asian country.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeEarly technique failure is a serious complication for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The study aimed to examine the incidence, causes, and risk factors associated with early technique failure.
methodsThis retrospective study included all incident PD patients in a hospital in Singapore from 2013 to 2017. The primary outcome was early technique failure, which was defined as transfer to hemodialysis for ≥ 30 days or death, within the first year of PD initiation. Secondary outcomes were death, technique failure due to PD infection, and death-censored technique failure.
resultsOverall, 517 patients were included in the study. Of these, 98 patients (19.0%) developed early technique failure. The common causes of early technique failure were death (41.8%) and infection (40.8%). Peripheral vascular disease was significantly associated with a higher hazard of early technique failure [hazard ratio (HR) 1.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-3.63] and death (HR 3.75, 95% CI 1.71-8.21), whilst glomerulonephritis as a cause of end-stage kidney disease (compared with hypertension) was associated with a lower hazard of early technique failure (HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.18-0.77) and death (HR 0.08, 95% CI 0.02-0.37). Male gender was associated with early technique failure due to PD infection (HR 2.55, 95% CI 1.32-4.95). No specific factor was associated with death-censored early technique failure.
conclusionTechnique failure in the first year of PD initiation occurs in one-fifth of PD patients and is associated with peripheral vascular disease and cause of end-stage kidney disease.
