A Systematic Review of Pediatric Dialysis in Asia: Unveiling Demographic Trends, Clinical Representation, and Outcomes.
Review in Cureus, 2024. 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
Dialysis in pediatric groups is complicated by a wide range of factors that can affect long-term prognosis. The purpose of this meta-analysis and systematic review is to better understand the demographic and clinical factors that affect dialysis success in children. We searched a variety of databases for relevant articles and included 14 reports that dealt with the case studies of pediatric patients undergoing dialysis for a wide range of renal diseases. Patients' demographics, clinical presentations, laboratory findings, and treatment outcomes were the primary areas of data collection. To get a better sense of the overall prevalence of certain outcomes and to spot noteworthy trends or patterns in the disease process, we conducted a meta-analysis. Variations in dialysis efficacy and outcomes are highlighted throughout a wide range of ages in the pediatric dialysis cohort, from neonates to teenagers. Acute kidney injuries (AKI) tended to impact more boys, but chronic kidney diseases (CKD), such as lupus nephritis, disproportionately afflicted girls. Many different ethnic groups were represented, and there was evidence that some diseases having a hereditary component were more common in some areas than others. However, the potential for long-term consequences remained a concern. Hemodialysis was found to be effective in controlling end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and AKI, with some patients going on to have a kidney transplant. At the same time, peritoneal dialysis was associated with an increased risk of infection. This comprehensive analysis highlights the importance of demographic and clinical parameters in determining pediatric dialysis outcomes. A 14.47% mortality rate and gender disparities are revealed by this meta-analysis of pediatric renal diseases, which included a cohort of 235 patients with conditions like lupus nephritis and hepatitis C infection. The findings stress the necessity for individualized treatment techniques and suggest that demographic characteristics should be addressed in prognostic models. For better patient outcomes, the study also suggests standardized reporting in pediatric dialysis studies.
