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

backgroundTissue sodium content in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) were previously explored using 23Sodium magnetic resonance imaging (23NaMRI). Larger studies would provide a better understanding of sodium stores in patients on dialysis as well as the factors influencing this sodium accumulation.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we quantified the calf muscle and skin sodium content in 162 subjects (10 PD, 33 MHD patients, and 119 controls) using 23NaMRI. Plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured to assess systemic inflammation. Sixty-four subjects had repeat 23NaMRI scans that were analyzed to assess the repeatability of the 23NaMRI measurements.

resultsPatients on MHD and PD exhibited significantly higher muscle and skin sodium accumulation compared to controls. African American patients on dialysis exhibited greater muscle and skin sodium content compared to non-African Americans. Multivariable analysis showed that older age was associated with both higher muscle and skin sodium. Male sex was also associated with increased skin sodium deposition. Greater ultrafiltration was associated with lower skin sodium in patients on PD (Spearman's rho=-0.68, P = 0.035). Higher plasma IL-6 and hsCRP levels correlated with increased muscle and skin sodium content in the overall study population. Patients with higher baseline tissue sodium content exhibited greater variability in tissue sodium stores on repeat measurements.

conclusionsOur findings highlight greater muscle and skin sodium content in dialysis patients compared to controls without kidney disease. Tissue sodium deposition and systemic inflammation seen in dialysis patients might influence one another bidirectionally.
