Prognostic implications of predialysis patients' symptoms in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Article in Renal failure, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundAs kidney disease progresses, patients often experience a variety of symptoms. There are very few studies reporting spectrum of predialysis patients' symptoms in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Furthermore, the clinical significance of predialysis patients' symptoms for PD patients' prognosis remains unknown.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, patients who started PD during 1 January 2006 to 31 January 2018 were included. Patients' predialysis symptoms and clinical parameters were obtained. Both the short- and long-term patients' outcome were investigated by Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier's survival analysis to identify the relationship between clinical symptoms and patients' mortality on PD.
resultsA total of 898 incident PD patients were included. The anorexia (58%) was the most common predialysis symptom in the present cohort, followed by insomnia (32.7%), fatigue (27.6%), syndromes of heart failure (27.6%), and nausea (20.5%). The only symptom significantly associated with both six-months and 12-months mortality on PD was nausea (HR 2.359, 95% CI 1.377-4.040,
conclusionsOur study demonstrated that nausea and anorexia were the most important predialysis symptoms, which was associated with patients' short- and long-term mortality on PD treatment, respectively. The results indicated that predialysis evaluation and management of symptoms of nausea and anorexia may be a possible way to improve patients' outcome on PD.
