Low serum prealbumin concentration predicts long-term mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients with hepatitis B and/or C virus infections.
Article in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2021. 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimA low serum prealbumin concentration is common in maintenance hemodialysis patients with hepatitis B and C and may be associated with mortality. In this study, we assessed Department of Nephrology and Hemodialysis predictive value of a low serum prealbumin concentration on mortality in HD patients using reused low-flux dialyzers who were infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus.
methodsWe used serum prealbumin levels to predict the long-term mortality of 326 hemodialysis patients. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (
resultsDuring a 5-year follow-up, there were 75 deaths due to all-cause mortality (23.0%). Mortality was significantly higher (
conclusionIn HD patients, serum prealbumin was a good prognostic biomarker of mortality in both groups of patients with hepatitis B and/or C virus infections and without hepatitis infections.
