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

introductionWe examined the combined effect of erythropoietin (EPO) hyporesponsiveness and low handgrip strength (HGS) on the prognosis of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).

methodsWe recruited patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5, who were undergoing HD at our dialysis clinic between January 2015 and March 2015 (

resultsA total of 175 patients (male,

conclusionsEPO hyporesponsiveness combined with low HGS were found to be significant predictors of a poor outcome, and the synergistic effects of the two factors had stronger predictive ability than either single factor.
