Risks and outcomes of critical limb ischemia in hemodialysis patients: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is more common in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis than in the general population. Critical limb ischemia (CLI), the most severe form of PAD, is associated with high amputation and mortality risk. However, few prospective studies are available evaluating this disease's presentation, risk factors and outcomes for patients receiving hemodialysis. Methods: The Hsinchu VA study, a prospective multicentre study, investigated the impact of clinical factors on cardiovascular outcomes of patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis from January 2008 until December 2021. We evaluated the presentations and outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed PAD and the correlations of clinical variables with newly diagnosed CLI. Results: Of 1136 study participants, 1038 had no PAD on enrolment. After a median follow-up period of 3.3 years, 128 had newly diagnosed PAD. Of these, 65 presented with CLI, and 25 underwent amputation or died from PAD. Patients presenting with CLI had more below-the-knee (52%) and multi-level (41%) disease, and completely occluded segments (41%), and higher risk for amputation or PAD-related death compared with patients without CLI (27.7% vs 9.5%, Conclusions: Patients undergoing hemodialysis had higher rates of newly diagnosed CLI than the general population. Those with disabilities, diabetes mellitus, smoking and atrial fibrillation may require careful examination for PAD.
