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

No study has investigated the predictive ability of ankle-brachial index (ABI) calculated using diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (ABIdbp) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (ABImap) for overall and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Our study was aimed to investigate the issue. Two hundred and seven routine HD patients were enrolled. ABI values were measured by ABI-form device. During the follow-up period (122 months), 124 of the 207 patients (59.0%) died, and 59 deaths due to CV cause. Multivariate analysis showed that low ABIsbp, ABIdbp, and ABImap were all significantly associated with increased overall (
