Influencing factors of hospitalization in maintenance haemodialysis outpatients after a diagnosis of COVID-19.
Observational study in Annals of medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe clinical manifestations of maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) outpatients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are highly heterogeneous. They are prone to progress to severe conditions, and they often require hospitalization. To better guide the management of MHD outpatients, this retrospective observational study assessed risk factors for hospitalization of MHD patients after a diagnosis of COVID-19.
methodsThe demographic data, comorbidities, laboratory indicators and imaging data of 128 MHD outpatients at our haemodialysis centre with confirmed COVID-19 infection from December 2022 to January 2023 were collected. The relationships between these factors and hospitalization of patients were analyzed.
resultsAmong the 128 patients, 25 (19.53%) were hospitalized. One of the 25 inpatients was mechanically ventilated, and two of them died. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the hospitalization rate was correlated with age, comorbid diabetes and peripheral blood lymphocyte count.
conclusionOlder age, comorbid diabetes and lower lymphocyte count are important risk factors for hospitalization of MHD outpatients after a diagnosis of COVID-19. Focusing on these factors may help in early identification of patients who may need to be admitted due to potential disease progression.
