[Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic from a nephrological perspective].
Review in Der Internist, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has also resulted in substantial challenges for nephrology worldwide. Patients with chronic kidney diseases are a particularly vulnerable patient group in this context and in severe courses of COVID-19 the kidneys are most frequently affected by organ failure after the lungs. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn order to reliably evaluate the prevalence and mortality of dialysis patients in Germany with respect to COVID-19, during the first wave in spring 2020 the German Society of Nephrology implemented a registry for dialysis patients. Weekly data on the number and course of dialysis patients affected by COVID-19 were recorded and analyzed.
resultsThe prevalence of COVID-19 in dialysis patients in Germany developed in two waves, similar to the course of the pandemic in the general population. In spring the prevalence in dialysis patients reached 1.4% and considerably declined during the summer. In December during the second wave of the pandemic the prevalence again rose to 1.9%, despite comprehensively implemented hygiene measures in dialysis centers. Similar to other industrial nations, dialysis patients in Germany also showed a very high lethality of COVID-19 of up to 20%.
conclusionImmediate consequences for hygiene measures in dialysis institutions as well as vaccination strategies and vaccination prioritization for this patient group and the personnel treating them can be derived from the high mortality in dialysis patients. A consequence of the frequent involvement of the kidneys during infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in patients who had not previously suffered from advanced kidney disease should be the consistent nephrological aftercare.
