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

backgroundIntradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a critical complication related to worse outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Herein, we addressed the impact of IDH on mortality and other outcomes in patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring intermittent hemodialysis.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 1,009 patients who underwent intermittent hemodialysis due to severe AKI. IDH was defined as either dialysis discontinuation due to hemodynamic instability or a decrease in systolic blood pressure (BP) of ≥30 mmHg, with or without a nadir systolic BP of <90 mmHg during the first session. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to unstable status was additionally analyzed. Hazard ratios (HRs) of outcomes were calculated using a Cox regression model after adjusting for multiple variables. Risk factors for IDH were evaluated using a logistic regression model.

resultsIDH occurred in 449 patients (44.5%) during the first hemodialysis session. Patients with IDH had a higher mortality rate than those without IDH (40% vs. 23%; HR, 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.65). The rate of ICU transfer was higher in patients experiencing IDH than in those without IDH (17% vs. 11%; HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.02-2.02). Factors such as old age, high BP and pulse rate, active malignancy, cirrhosis, and hypoalbuminemia were associated with an increased risk of IDH episodes.

conclusionThe occurrence of IDH is associated with worse outcomes in patients with AKI requiring intermittent hemodialysis. Therefore, careful monitoring and early intervention of IDH may be necessary in this patient subset.
