Article in Kidney medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
RATIONALE &
objectiveArteriovenous fistulas are the preferred access type for hemodialysis. The buttonhole needling technique has become an alternative to stepladder or area puncture. However, an increased risk for infection has been described. The present study examined the risk for infectious complications with different needling techniques. STUDY
designProspective multicenter observational cohort study with 5 years of follow-up. SETTING &
participantsIn-center hemodialysis patients from 5 hemodialysis units in Denmark, dialyzed on a native arteriovenous fistula. 286 patients were included; 144 cannulated with the buttonhole technique. EXPOSURE: The buttonhole cannulation technique was compared to the stepladder or area puncture technique. OUTCOMES: Primary end points: event rates of access-related ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Time-to-event analysis using Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate the HR of access-related
resultsLIMITATIONS: Nonrandomized observational design, prevalent hemodialysis patients.
