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

backgroundResidual kidney function (RKF) may provide many benefits to patients on permanent renal replacement therapy that are reflected in better control of biochemical parameters. In hemodialysis patients, quality of life (QOL) and cognitive function are often impaired. This study aimed to assess the predictors of RKF and its impact on QOL and cognitive function in chronic hemodialysis patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe study involved seventy-eight patients suffering from end-stage renal disease on regular hemodialysis. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of RKF (24-hour urine volume ≥ 100 ml). Beside basic laboratory investigations, all patients were subjected to Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form (KDQOL-SF) version 1.3 for assessing the quality of life and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) score for assessing cognitive function.

resultsThere was a significantly higher score for KDQOL domains and MoCA score in patients with RKF compared to patients without RKF. There was a significant positive correlation between RKF and both of MoCA score and the physical composite score (PCS) of QOL. Moreover, there were statistically significant positive correlations between the MoCA score and both PCS and mental composite score (MCS). On multivariate analysis, hemodialysis duration was the only predictor for RKF; whereas age was a significant predictor for PCS; and MoCA score could be significantly predicted by the measured RKF and patients' age.

conclusionHD patients with maintained RKF had better QOL and cognitive function. The duration of HD and the age of the patients were found to be related to RKF and PCS in this study. RKF was associated with the cognitive performance of hemodialysis patients.
