1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Following the exhaustion of all conventional hemodialysis access options in the upper extremities, a prosthetic arteriovenous loop was performed between the brachial artery (BA) and the external jugular vein (EJV) as a novel access option for hemodialysis in the present case report. During the procedure, a polytetrafluoroethylene graft was anastomosed to the BA and the EJV, and looped on the upper limb. The safety and reliability of BA-EJV access was evaluated by determining the complications, patency and intervention rates. The patient was then followed up for 20 months. The graft became thrombosed 20 months after the placement. There were no complications, such as infection, bleeding or aneurysmal lesions. Overall, the present study demonstrates that hemodialysis via BA-EJV access represents an unusual, yet effective and safe procedure, which may be conducted with acceptable complications and patency rates.
