Predictive role of cardiac valvular calcification in all-cause mortality of Chinese initial haemodialysis patients: a follow-up study of 4 years.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCardiac valvular calcification (CVC) is prevalent in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Its association with mortality in Chinese incident haemodialysis (IHD) patients remains unknown.
methodsA total of 224 IHD patients who had just begun HD therapy at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, were enrolled and divided into two groups according to the detection of cardiac valvular calcification (CVC) by echocardiography. The patients were followed for a median of 4 years for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality.
resultsDuring follow-up, 56 (25.0%) patients died, including 29 (51.8%) of cardiovascular disease. The adjusted HR related to all-cause mortality was 2.14 (95% CI, 1.05-4.39) for patients with cardiac valvular calcification. However, CVC was not an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in patients who had just begun HD therapy.
conclusionCVC at baseline is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in HD patients and makes an independent contribution to the prediction of all-cause mortality. These findings support the use of echocardiography at the beginning of HD.
