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

Dialysis adequacy for pediatric patients has largely followed the trends in adult dialysis by judging the success or adequacy of peritoneal or hemodialysis with urea kinetic modeling. While this provides a starting point to establish a dose of dialysis, it is clear that urea is only part of the picture. Many clinical parameters and interventions now have been identified that are just as impactful on mortality and morbidly as urea clearance. As such, our concept of adequacy is evolving to include non-urea parameters and assessing the impact that following an "adequate therapy" has on patient lives. As we move to a new era, we consider the impact these therapies have on patients and how it affects the quality of their lives; we must take these factors into consideration to achieve a therapy that is not just adequate, but livable.
