A meta-analysis of traditional and functional end-to-side anastomosis in radiocephalic fistula for dialysis access.

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
objectiveFunctional vein end to arterial side (ETS) anastomosis uses vein side to arterial side (STS) anastomosis with distal vein ligation, which can achieve similar effects as those of ETS after STS anastomosis. The purpose of the study was to provide a meta-analysis to compare the clinical outcomes between traditional and functional ETS anastomosis in radiocephalic fistula for dialysis access.
methodsDatabases including PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database were searched from the inception to February 6, 2020. Eligible studies comparing traditional and functional ETS anastomosis in radiocephalic fistula were included. Data were analyzed using Review Manager Version 5.3.
resultsSeven studies were included in the meta-analysis. Five randomized controlled trials and two cohort studies involving 841 patients were identified. Compared with traditional ETS anastomosis, functional ETS anastomosis had shorter anastomosis time (MD - 9.54, 95% CI - 17.96 to - 1.12, P = 0.03), higher surgical success rate (OR 3.80, 95% CI 1.76-8.22, P < 0.01), fewer complications(OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.08-0.39, P < 0.01), higher patency rate after 3 months (OR 4.91, 95% CI 1.19-20.33, P = 0.03), higher patency rate after 6 months (OR 1.90, 95%CI 1.09-3.31, P = 0.02), higher patency rate after 12 months (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.09-2.66, P = 0.02). There was no difference after the two arteriovenous (AVF) anastomosisl methods concerning AVF maturation time (SMD - 0.48, 95% CI - 1.30-0.34, P = 0.25) and patency rate after 1 month (OR 1.77, 95% CI 0.65-4.80, P = 0.26).
conclusionFunctional ETS anastomosis had advantages of easy operation, high surgical success rate, few complications, high patency rate of 3 months and long-term, but did not have obvious advantage in the early stages concerning AVF maturation time and 1-month patency rate.
