Seasonality of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in Japan: a single-center, 10-year study.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPeritonitis is one of the major complications of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Although several reports have indicated seasonality of peritonitis, the observation periods were short, and there were no reports from Japan. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term seasonality of peritonitis in a single institution in Japan.
methodsOf 126 patients who started PD in our hospital between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2018, 25 patients (15 men, 10 patients with diabetes) developed peritonitis with a total of 42 episodes. The median age at onset was 63 years, and the median duration from the start of PD to the onset of peritonitis was 22 months.
resultsThe 10-year incidence of peritonitis was 0.12 episodes per patient-year. Compared with the reference season of winter (December-February), the incidence rate ratios (95% confidence interval) for spring (March-May), summer (June-August), and autumn (September-November) were 1.75 (0.65-4.75), 1.56 (0.57-4.31), and 2.42 (0.94-6.23), respectively. In addition, no seasonality of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms was observed.
conclusionNo seasonality was evident in the incidence of PD-related peritonitis in our hospital over a 10-year period. These findings suggest that the development of peritonitis in Japanese PD patients is not affected by seasonality.
