Cancer before and after the start of hemodialysis and association with mortality - an Eastern-European multicenter study.
Article in Renal failure, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionEast-European data on cancer in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are scarce. This study aimed to assess the pattern of cancer and related mortality in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing HD.
methodsRetrospectively analyzing data from 7 HD centers, this study examined 1377 incident HD patients divided into three groups: no-cancers (NoC), cancers that occurred prior to HD initiation (CPI) and de novo cancer developed after HD initiation (DNC). Mortality risk and survival trends within groups were analyzed using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier methods.
resultsIn the cohort, 89.46% of the patients had no cancer (NoC group), 3.63% had cancer before (CPI group), and 6.89% had cancer after HD initiation (DNC group). The mean time from HD initiation to DNC diagnosis was 1 [2.75] years. Older age was associated with a higher risk of developing DNC (
conclusionsEast-European ESKD patients undergoing HD have a high incidence of de novo cancers whose primary cancer sites are the digestive and urinary tracts. Almost half of the HD patients with CPI have hematologic and digestive tract cancers. Age and CTIN were associated with cancer risk. Cancer is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
