Effect of a Multifaceted Intervention on the Incidence of Hemodialysis Catheter Dysfunction in a National Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial.
Article in Kidney international reports, 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
Introduction: Effective strategies to prevent hemodialysis (HD) catheter dysfunction are lacking and there is wide variation in practice. Methods: In this Results: A total of 873 HD catheters were removed because of dysfunction over 1.12 million catheter days. The raw incidence was 0.91 events per 1000 catheter days during the baseline phase and 0.68 events per 1000 catheter days during the intervention phase. The service-wide incidence of catheter dysfunction was 33% lower during the intervention after adjustment for calendar time (incidence rate ratio = 0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.50-0.89; Conclusion: Multifaceted interventions that promote evidence-based catheter care may prevent dysfunction, and patient factors are an important source of variation in events.
