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

Blood pressure (BP) is a known prognostic marker for mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). However, definition of the BP and its optimal values vary essentially among different MHD populations. Our purpose was to clarify these important clinical parameters in a Chinese MHD cohort. Accordingly, we reviewed the available records of patients on regular MHD during the past 10 years and made a comparison between the deceased (n=81) and survival ones (n=131). Multiple logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to examine the effect of BP on mortality and long-term survival, respectively. The all-cause mortality in our patients was 38.2%, in which 49.4% was from cardio-cerebrovascular deaths. Using the multiple logistic regression, we found that the sitting (the same definition hereafter) pre-dialysis systolic BP (SBP) was significantly associated with both the all-cause mortality and cardio-cerebrovascular deaths exclusively in patients of 60-80 years. Moreover, a pre-dialysis SBP of 140-160 mmHg in these patients had the minimum all-cause mortality (23.5%) against that conferred by either a lower (42.1%) or higher SBP value (61.5%). This observation was further confirmed by the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. As fresh gain to the practice of hemodialysis, our report revealed that BP worked in a time-dependent way among a Chinese MHD cohort and highlighted a U-shaped association between the pre-dialysis SBP and all-cause mortality. These findings may hence help to obtain optimal BP control for better survival and lend some prognostic insight into mortality in these MHD patients.
