Effect of Long-term Peritoneal Dialysis on Change in Visceral Fat Area: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. 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
introductionVisceral fat area (VFA) is known to increase after initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, the factors contributing to the increase in VFA in long-term PD patients have not been sufficiently elucidated. The present study investigated factors that affect VFA in patients who continue PD for ≥3 years.
methodsTwenty patients (63.1 ± 10.3 years, 9 men, 11 diabetic patients) between January 2008 and January 2015 were included. VFA, subcutaneous fat area (SFA) and waist circumference at initiation and follow-up were measured at the level of the umbilicus by computed tomography using an image analysis system. Change in VFA was defined as the value obtained by dividing VFA at the final follow-up by that at the initiation. The correlations between clinical parameters at initiation and changes in VFA were analyzed.
resultsThere was no significant change in body weight (57.6 ± 10.4 vs 58.3 ± 7.8 kg,
conclusionsVFA might increase with long-term PD in patients with end-stage kidney disease who have high HDL-C, small SFA, and small waist circumference at initiation.
