Dialysis and a plant-based diet to achieve physiologic urea levels for fetal benefit: Normal pregnancy outcome despite chronic kidney disease and hypertension.
Article in Obstetric 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
Chronic kidney disease significantly increases the risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. A growing body of evidence suggests that intensive dialysis, achieving physiologic pre-dialysis blood urea, is associated with decreased morbidity. We report a case of a successful pregnancy outcome in a 32-year-old nulliparous woman with stage 4 chronic kidney disease who underwent haemodialysis from 11 to 31 weeks' gestation for fetal benefit and concurrently trialled a plant-based diet. We hypothesise that her dietary changes assisted with urea reduction, enabling her to become dialysis independent. Although we must recognise that such pregnancies remain high risk, as demonstrated both in this case and more recent literature, advances in complex obstetric care and dialysis protocols may now give women with chronic kidney disease a realistic hope of a successful pregnancy.
