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

Introduction: Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis due to tuberculosis (TB) is associated with poor outcomes and optimal treatment strategies for this condition remain unknown. Our study aimed to: (i) systematically review the published literature on peritonitis caused by Methods: A literature search of Medline, Scopus, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials and Google Scholar for articles published from inception date to June 2022 was conducted. To be eligible, articles had to describe patient characteristics, initial anti-TB therapy, and treatment outcomes in all patients on PD with peritonitis caused by Results: The systematic literature review identified 70 case studies (151 patients) and 8 cohort studies (97 patients), whereas the ANZDATA Registry identified 17 cases of peritonitis due to Conclusion: Tuberculous peritonitis is uncommon in patients on PD and is associated with poor outcomes. Prospective studies are warranted to study the effect of retaining PD catheters after
