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

backgroundPrevious studies have shown cardiovascular disease (CVD) to be a risk factor in the prediction of 30-day hospital readmission among patients receiving dialysis. However, studies of Asian populations are limited. In the present study, we examined the association between CVD and 30-day hospital readmission in Chinese patients receiving maintenance dialysis.

methodsPatients receiving maintenance dialysis were identified by searching a national claims database, the China Health Insurance Research Association (CHIRA) database, using the International Classification of Diseases revision 10 (ICD-10) and items of medical service claims. Patients aged ≥18 years who were discharged after index hospitalization between January 2015 and December 2015 were included in our retrospective analysis. CVD-related diagnoses were divided into three categories: coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure (HF), and stroke. Thirty-day hospital readmission was defined as any hospital readmission within the 30 days following discharge. Logistic regression models adjusted for logit of propensity scores (PS) were used to assess the association of CVD with 30-day hospital readmission.

resultsOf 4,700 patients receiving dialysis, the 30-day hospital readmission rate was 10.4%. Compared with patients without CVD, there was an increased risk of 30-day hospital readmission among maintenance dialysis patients with total CVD [odds ratio (OR): 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06-1.66]. Patients with HF (OR: 1.77, CI: 1.27-2.47) and stroke (OR: 2.14, 95% CI: 1.53-2.98) had a greater risk of 30-day hospital readmission. The fully adjusted OR of CHD for the risk of 30-day hospital readmission was 1.22 (95% CI: 0.97-1.55).

conclusionsCVDs, especially stroke and HF, are independent predictors of 30-day hospital readmission in Chinese patients receiving dialysis, and could help to guide interventions to improve the quality of care for these patients.
