Impact of Weight Gain on the Subsequent Survival of New Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.
Article in Kidney diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Obesity at the initiation of dialysis was reported to adversely affect the clinical outcome of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and weight gain is common after started on PD. However, there are few studies on the prognostic implications of weight gain after PD. Methods: We reviewed the change in body weight of 954 consecutive patients during the first 2 years of PD in a single Hong Kong center. Their subsequent clinical outcomes, including patient and technique survival rates, hospitalization, and peritonitis rates, were analyzed. Results: The mean age was 60.3 ± 12.2 years; 535 patients (56.1%) were men, and 504 (52.8%) had diabetes. From 1995-1999 to 2015-2019, the percentage of body weight gain during the first 2 years of PD was 1.0 ± 7.9%, 1.6 ± 7.1%, 1.6 ± 7.2%, 3.9 ± 9.5%, and 4.0 ± 10.3% for each 5-year period, respectively ( Discussion and Conclusions: Weight gain is common during the first 2 years of PD, but weight gain does not appear to have any significant impact on the subsequent outcome. In contrast, weight loss >5% was significantly associated with worse patient survival subsequently.
