Impact of dialysis modality conversion on the health-related quality of life of peritoneal dialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study in China.
Article in PeerJ, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo analyze the health-related quality of life associated with the conversion of dialysis modality among end-stage renal disease patients in China.
methodsPatients were recruited from hospitals and a dialysis center in Kunshan, China. Patients converting from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis to automated peritoneal dialysis were recruited as the observation group (
resultsThe health-related quality of life scores of the two groups was comparable in baseline, while the observation group had higher scores in Physical Component Summary (51.92 ± 7.50), Kidney Disease Component Summary (81.21 ± 8.41), Symptoms (90.76 ± 6.30), Effects (82.86 ± 11.42), and Burden (69.04 ± 15.69) subscales after one year. In multivariate regression analysis, the change of Physical Component Summary was significantly associated with conversion to APD (
conclusionsThe conversion of dialysis modality had a significant impact on the scores of most subscales. Patients converting from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis to automated peritoneal dialysis generally had improved health-related quality of life scores.
