Analyzing clinical characteristics of patients with different cumulative hemodialysis durations: a cross-sectional study.
Article in PeerJ, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to examine the clinical characteristics of patients with different cumulative hemodialysis (HD) durations, so as to improve their survival rate.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we extracted background information and relevant clinical data from 145 patients who were undergoing maintenance HD three times a week at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University between January 1998 and January 2019. The study subjects were divided into four groups according to the duration of their HD: <5 years, 5-10 years, 10-15 years, and >15 years of HD. We collected the medical history and relevant clinical parameters for each subject, and measured the urea reduction ratio (URR), hemoglobin (Hb), serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and serum albumin (ALB) levels for each group.
resultsThe average patient age was 52.06 ± 11.93 years old. The average patient age in the 10-15 years and >15 years groups was significantly lower than in the <5 years and 5-10 years groups (
conclusionA prolonged HD duration was related to a younger mean age at the start of HD treatment. The leading cause of ESRD was chronic glomerulonephritis. We predominantly found diabetic nephropathy in the group with a duration of <5 years cumulative HD. Most of the indexes related to hemodialysis almost satisfied the recommended values in these patients.
