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

Objective: To investigate a seasonal variation in blood pressure (BP) for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Methods: In this retrospective study, we exported all BP measurements from the information system to investigate a seasonal variation of BP. We also investigated a seasonal variation in BP for patients of different gender types, of different age groups, with diabetic nephropathy (DN), and with non-DN having HD. Multiple linear regression models were used to explore the associations between BP and climatic parameters. Results: In 2019, a total of 367 patients had received HD therapy in the Longwen HD unit. We included nearly 40,000 pre-dialysis BP measurements. The result of our study demonstrated a clear seasonal variation in pre-dialysis BP in general patients with HD, in male and female patients, and patients with DN and non-DN. December seemed to be a peak in the values of pre-dialysis systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP). The nadir values of pre-dialysis SBP and DBP were observed in June and July, respectively. A difference between peak and nadir values of BP is 3.81/2.20 mmHg in patients undergoing HD. Maximal seasonal variation in BP is 9.03/5.08 mmHg for patients with DN. A significant association of SBP and DBP with climatic parameters was found in this study. Pre-dialysis BP was inversely correlated with outdoor temperature, daytime length, and relative humidity. Conclusion: A clear seasonal variation in BP is observed for patients with HD. Pre-dialysis SBP and DBP are inversely associated with outdoor temperature, daytime length, and relative humidity. The magnitude of a seasonal variation in BP increases in patients with DN.
