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

backgroundRenal failure is one of the dangerous chronic diseases that different solutions are used for dialysis in these patients. Arteriovenous graft (AVG) and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) are two communication methods for dialysis in these patients, associated with pain, sensory and Pulse disturbances, and even limb necrosis. Using cubital AVF and AVG for hemodialysis is a critical issue in vascular surgery. Arterial steal syndrome is an essential medical condition requiring surgical interventions. In this research project, we decided to measure the incidence of steal syndrome among AVF and AVG patients and compare them with each other.

methodsThis cohort study was performed in Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan, Iran, from 2018 to 2020. Two hundred one patients undergoing AVF or AVG were included, and patients were followed for six months. The frequency of pain symptoms, anesthesia and pulse disorders, necrosis of the limbs, and the frequency of steal syndrome were assessed.

resultsAmong the studied patients, 2 cases in the AVF group and 10 cases in the AVG group had steal syndrome, and there was a significant difference between the two groups based on the frequency of steal syndrome (P=0.007). Also, there was a considerable difference between the two groups based on the pulse disorder (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of symptoms of sensory impairment, pain, and evidence of necrosis (P>0.05).

conclusionAVF technique is better than AVG in creating symptoms of steal syndrome, and also, the number of symptoms such as pulse disorder was relatively less seen in the AVF method.
