Role of color Doppler assessment in predicting outcomes of wrist Brescia-Cimino arteriovenous fistula creation: A single-center prospective 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: The most common reason for constructing an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is chronic kidney disease. Various factors are associated with nonmaturation or failure of AVF, which can be evaluated using color Doppler/duplex ultrasound (DUS). We carried out this study to evaluate the role of pre- and postoperative DUS for the prediction of outcomes of wrist radiocephalic (RC) AVF. Methods: In our prospective observational study, dialysis-dependent patients between 20 and 70 years of age undergoing primary RC-AVF from May 2019 to July 2020 were included. All patients underwent pre- and postoperative DUS examination after obtaining consent. Results: Among 104 participants, 87 (83.7%) were male and 17 (16.3%) were female. Successful maturation was seen in 68 (65.4%) participants, whereas 90 (86.53%) had functional maturation. Radial artery diameter (RAD) ≥1.6 mm, cephalic vein diameter (CVD) ≥2.0 mm, vein distensibility (VD) ≥0.5 mm, and peak systolic velocity (PSV) RAD ≥30 cm/s were associated with higher successful maturation of AVF with statistically significant results ( Conclusions: If we consider the rule of six for AVF maturation, then the results will be much less than the actual fistulas which are dialyzable with adequate blood flow as per functional maturation criteria. Thus, more randomized studies are needed to define maturation criteria for the Indian population and to identify the effect of papaverine on successful AVF maturation.
