The role of lung ultrasonography in the assessment of overhydration in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Observational study in Renal failure, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeExisted methods like biochemical markers improve the accuracy of fluid evaluation for the maintenance hemodialysis patients, but none of them has become the gold standard. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of lung ultrasonography as a useful tool for monitoring the volume status of the patients.
methodsA total of 88 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialytic were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Patients were divided into three groups: overhydration (OH), normohydration, and hypohydration according to bioimpedance spectroscopy. Lung ultrasonography parameters, echocardiography parameters, and clinical characteristics of three groups were analyzed. After an average follow-up of 433 days, all-cause mortality among groups was compared.
resultsThe total number of lung comets was statistically reduced in patients after dialysis (
conclusionsThis study proposes a potentially reliable lung ultrasonography method for estimating fluids overload, which also has implication value of all-cause mortality.
