Dialyzer surface area is a significant predictor of mortality in patients on hemodialysis: a 3-year nationwide cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A target Kt/V of > 1.4 and use of a high-flux dialyzer are recommended for patients on hemodialysis. However, there is little information on the relationship between the dialyzer surface area and mortality in these patients. In this nationwide cohort study, we aimed to clarify this relationship by analyzing data from the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy for 2010-2013. We enrolled 234,638 patients on hemodialysis who were divided according to quartile for dialyzer surface area into the S group (small, < 1.5 m
