Impact of obesity on the evolution of outcomes in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSome studies reveal that obesity is associated with a decrease in mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. However, few studies have addressed the association between body mass index (BMI) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
methodsWe performed this longitudinal, retrospective study to evaluate the impact of obesity on PD patients, using data from the Catalan Registry of Renal Patients from 2002 to 2015 (
resultsObesity was observed in 20% of patients starting PD. We did not find differences in sex or PD modality, with the obesity group being older (65.9% are ≥55 years versus 59% non-obese, P = 0.003) and presenting more diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (47.9% obese versus 25.1% non-obese and 41.7% versus 31.5%, respectively). We did not observe differences in haemoglobin, albumin and
conclusionsObese and non-obese patients starting on PD had similar outcomes.
