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

backgroundThe relationship between hypoalbuminemia in peritoneal dialysis (PD) and mortality, risk of peritonitis, and decreased residual renal function (RRF) is known. However, we have not encountered a comprehensive study on which of the mean albumin values, at the beginning of peritoneal dialysis, in the first year, and during the peritoneal dialysis period, provide more predictive predictions regarding mortality, peritonitis risk, and RRF reduction.

methodsA total of 407 PD patients in whom PD was initiated and followed up and PD was terminated were included in the study. Albumin levels, peritonitis, and RRF at the beginning of PD and at 3-month periods during PD were recorded.

resultsIn the evaluation of the patients, there was a significant relationship between mean, first-year albumin values in RRF loss (

conclusionsIn conclusion, mean and first-year mean albumin levels provide more determinative predictions for mortality, risk of peritonitis, and maintenance of residual renal functions in peritoneal dialysis patients compared to baseline albumin.
