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

introductionThe prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) has been rising over the past decade, with a prevalence close to 40%. Cardiovascular disease and malnutrition are common comorbidities and known risk factors for mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. We aimed to evaluate the one-year mortality rate after dialysis induction, and the impact of serum albumin levels on survival outcomes, in patients with CKD and HF.

methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of patients with CKD and HF who underwent chronic HD between January 2016 and December 2019 in a tertiary-care Portuguese hospital. Variables were submitted to univariate and multivariate analysis to determine factors predictive of one-mortality after HD start.

resultsIn total, 204 patients were analysed (mean age 75.1 ± 10.3 years). Within the first year of HD start, 28.7% of patients died. These patients were significantly older [79.8 ± 7.2 versus 72.9 ± 10.9 years,

conclusionIn our cohort, older age, lower serum creatinine and lower serum albumin were independent risk factors for one-year mortality, highlighting the prognostic importance of malnutrition in patients starting chronic HD.
