Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome in a Patient With Acute Kidney Injury on Chronic Kidney Disease.

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
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is a neurological complication that has been known to occur after hemodialysis (HD). In recent years, the prevalence of DDS has been low as the symptoms are widely recognized; hence, preventive therapies, such as the slow and gentle procedure for HD, are often administered before starting dialysis. However, once DDS occurs, it may cause seizures, coma, and even death in severe cases. Since there has been no established treatment, recognizing risk factors and preventing the syndrome is important. A 76-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to exacerbation of chronic heart failure. He also had a history of chronic kidney disease and had consulted with his home doctor about the preparation for HD a month before admission. After treatment with diuretics, the symptoms ameliorated, but he experienced presyncope and malaise. Laboratory tests revealed acute anemia and a decrease in renal function. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed active bleeding from a gastric ulcer, which was successfully stopped. However, his consciousness deteriorated because of uremia; hence, HD was initiated. We used a cellulose triacetate membrane with a surface area of 1.3 m
