Arteriovenous fistula in functional motor disability.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred route for vascular access in patients with chronic kidney disease on maintenance haemodialysis. Many studies have demonstrated the positive effects of perioperative hand exercise on fistula maturation. Here, we present our experience of radio cephalic AVF creation in patients with neuromuscular disorders who had difficulty performing isometric hand exercises. We created AVF in three patients with neurological disorders. First patient had essential tremor, which created difficulty during hand exercises and surgery while the other two patients had right hemiparesis. Perioperative isometric exercises have been shown to help in maturation of AVF. Due to neurological involvement, our patients had difficulty performing hand exercises. All had successful AVF despite taking longer than usual time to mature. Creation of AVF in neuromuscular diseases is feasible. A preoperative Doppler ultrasound to assess the vessels might help in making an informed decision. This might spare such patients the only functional arm.
