Physical Function and Clinical Outcomes in Hemodialysis Patients: China Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study.
Article in Kidney diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundHemodialysis (HD) patients usually have impaired physical function compared with the general population. Self-reported physical function is a simple method to implement in daily dialysis care. This study aimed to examine the association of self-reported physical function with clinical outcomes of HD patients.
methodsThe Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) is a prospective cohort study. Data on 1,427 HD patients in China DOPPS5 were analyzed. Self-reported physical function was characterized by 2 items of "moderate activities limited level" and "climbing stairs limited level." Demographic data, comorbidities, hospitalization, and death records were collected from patients' records. Associations between physical function and outcomes were analyzed using COX regression models.
resultsCompared to "limited a lot" in moderate activities, "limited a little" and "not limited at all" groups were associated with lower all-cause mortality after adjusted for covariates (HR: 0.652, 95% CI: 0.435-0.977, and HR: 0.472, 95% CI: 0.241-0.927, respectively). And, not limited in moderate activities was associated with lower risk of hospitalization than the "limited a lot" group after adjusted for covariates (HR: 0.747, 95% CI: 0.570-0.978). Meanwhile, compared to "limited a lot" in climbing stairs, "limited a little" and "not limited at all" groups were associated with lower all-cause mortality (HR: 0.574, 95% CI: 0.380-0.865 and HR: 0.472, 95% CI: 0.293-0.762, respectively) but not hospitalization after fully adjusted.
conclusionHigher limited levels in self-reported physical function were associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality and hospitalization in HD patients.
