Simultaneous removal and replacement of the peritoneal catheter in CAPD patient with refractory peritonitis sustained by P. aeruginosa: A case-report.
Article in The journal of vascular access, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pseudomonas peritonitis is often severe and associated with less than 50% complete cure rate, often requiring catheter removal, and transfer to HD. International guidelines recommend that peritoneal catheter should be removed if peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent does not clear after 5 days of appropriate antibiotic therapy defining the episode as refractory peritonitis. To avoid the shift to hemodialysis (HD), the simultaneous removal and replacement of the peritoneal catheter (SCR) has been employed to treat recurrent peritonitis or tunnel infections associated with peritonitis, obtaining satisfactory outcomes. However, the use of SCR is still controversial in refractory episodes. At present there is growing evidence that refractory peritonitis can be sustained by bacterial adherence along the intraperitoneal portion of the catheter, especially when Pseudomonas species are involved. We describe a case of refractory peritonitis sustained by P. aeruginosa that after a partial response to antibiotics has been successfully treated by SCR.
