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

backgroundIt has been proposed that substituting citrate-acidified dialysate (CAD) solutions for acetate-acidified dialysate (AAD) could improve hemodynamics and dialysis tolerance and reduce the requirement for systemic anticoagulation. Citrate chelates ionized calcium, but long-term effects of CAD use during maintenance hemodialysis have not been well studied. While many studies of the effects of CAD on serum calcium and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) have been short-term or have been limited by sample size, we aimed to determine if there are any long-term (i.e., 6-month) changes from pre-dialysis iPTH levels when patients are switched from AAD to CAD.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study compared various clinical parameters, including pre-dialysis iPTH and serum calcium as well as single pool Kt/V, from eligible patients who received in-center hemodialysis thrice-weekly in geographically matched CAD (n=3) or AAD clinics (n=12). CAD clinics were defined as clinics converting from AAD to CAD if >85% of the patients were prescribed CAD after implementation of CAD within the clinic.

resultsPre-dialysis iPTH was not significantly different from baseline to 6-month follow-up within either CAD or AAD clinics. Moreover, the mean change from baseline to month 6 in iPTH between patients (n=142) in CAD clinics (-17 pg/mL) and patients (n=671) in AAD clinics (13 pg/mL) was similar (

conclusionSimilar trends in single pool Kt/V, iPTH, and serum calcium levels were observed in clinics that switched from AAD to CAD versus the geographically matched AAD clinics. These results support CAD as a potential alternative to AAD in hemodialysis.
