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

This retrospective, single center, case report describes the first use of the Ellipsys Vascular Access System for percutaneous arteriovenous fistula (pAVF) creation in children. Two adolescent (<20 year of age) patients (18 and 19-year-old females), one of whom was developmentally delayed, were not considered candidates for traditional surgical arteriovenous fistula creation. pAVF creation was successful in both patients using the Ellipsys device and physiologic maturation of the fistula was achieved within 8 weeks of creation with subsequent 2 needle cannulation. No complications or adverse events were encountered. pAVF creation with the Ellipsys device can be safely performed in adolescents. Further studies will be needed to validate the expanded use of these devices in children.
