The effectiveness of Glasgow-Blatchford Score in early risk assessment of hemodialysis patients.
Article in Internal and emergency medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In the emergency departments (ED), the incidence of admission is increasing gradually due to gastrointestinal system (GIS) complications of hemodialysis (HD) patients. With this increasing number of patients, there are many classification systems developed in early risk assessment before endoscopy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the Glasgow-Blatchford Score's (GBS) effectiveness in HD patients with suspected GIS hemorrhage in the ED.The files of 169 patients who received HD treatment were retrospectively reviewed. 64 patients who were examined and treated for reasons other than GIS hemorrhage in the ED were excluded, and the files of a total of 105 were analyzed retrospectively. The demographic characteristics and laboratory values of the patients were recorded from the patient files. When the patients were evaluated according to GBS parameters, a significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of pulse pressure, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin value, melena, and accompanying comorbid diseases (p < 0.05). Of the 16 patients who presented to the ED due to syncope, 2 were in the GIS hemorrhage (+) group, and 14 patients were in the control group. In this study, we aimed to show that the increase in the number of admissions in the ED due to complications secondary to HD treatment and the accompanying serious changes in laboratory parameters may cause misleading results in patients with suspected GIS hemorrhage, and it is necessary to plan comprehensive and multi-center studies on new alternative scoring systems to GBS in specific patient groups such as HD patients.
