The influence of seasonal factors on the incidence of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis.
Article in Renal failure, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo investigate the effects of climatic variables on peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) among patients receiving PD, such as seasonal variations in temperature and humidity.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on PD patients, from 1 January 2011, to 31 December 2019. We evaluated the influence of seasonal factors on peritonitis rates and outcomes.
resultsOver the 9-year study period, 667 peritonitis episodes occurred, in 401 PD patients. Diarrhea-associated peritonitis occurred more frequently in summer compared with other seasons. Eating raw and cold food was identified as the primary cause of peritonitis in the summer. More peritonitis episodes occurred during summer. The peritonitis rate associated with gram-negative bacteria (
conclusionsSeasonal variations exist in the incidence of dialysis-associated peritonitis, with peak incidents caused by gram-negative bacteria in the summer. High average temperature and humidity are associated with significant increases in the gram-negative bacteria and Enterobacterial peritonitis rates. Peritonitis prognosis during summer is worse.
