Duration of hemodialysis associated with cardio-respiratory dysfunction and breathlessness: a multicenter study.
Article in PeerJ, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPatients with hemodialysis suffer with protein-energy wasting and uremic myopathy lead to lack of physical activity and poor functional performance. However, ventilation abnormality in patients undergone hemodialysis remains controversial regarding the respiratory impairment. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the effect of duration of dialysis on respiratory function.
methodsA multicenter study with cross-sectional study was designed in four hemodialysis outpatient clinics. Respiratory muscle strength (i.e., maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP)) pulmonary function test (i.e., forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV
resultsA total of 100 hemodialysis patients were recruited with 38 females and 62 males. An average of duration of hemodialysis was 5.93± 4.96 years. Decreased MIP values, FEV
