Association of Peritonitis With Cardiovascular Mortality Over Time in the Peritoneal Dialysis Population: An Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry Study.

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
Introduction: Though peritonitis is associated with increased mortality in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD), its association with cardiovascular mortality remains uncertain. Methods: The study participants included adult patients (≥18 years old) commencing PD in Australia (from October 2003 to December 2019) using the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) registry. Association between peritonitis and cardiovascular mortality was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards analysis and competing risks analysis. Associations between peritonitis rates between different eras and cardiovascular mortality were also compared using Jointpoint regression model to determine the time point when a significant change in peritonitis trend occurred to define the era for cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analysis dividing the groups into 0, 1 and ≥2 episodes of peritonitis and sensitivity analysis censoring at 90 days post-transfer to hemodialysis (HD) were performed. Results: The study included 9699 incident PD patients. The overall peritonitis rate was 0.37 episodes per patient-year and declined by 4.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.6-5.8%) during the study period. Peritonitis was associated with increased cardiovascular mortality risk (subdistribution hazard ratio [SHR] 1.53, 95% CI 1.39-1.69, Conclusion: Peritonitis is independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality, and the association is episode-dependent. Prevention and adequate treatment of PD peritonitis may improve cardiovascular outcomes among patients receiving PD.
