Prognostic value of transthoracic echocardiography score for the prognosis of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundWe devoted ourselves to proving that the initial transthoracic echocardiography score (TTES) had predictive significance for patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
methodsIn this retrospective analysis, 274 CAPD patients who had PD therapy were recruited sequentially. TTE exams were performed three months following the start of PD therapy. All patients were divided into two groups based on the strength of their TTES levels. TTES's predictive value for CAPD patients was then determined using LASSO regression and Cox regression.
resultsDuring a median of 52 months, 46 patients (16.8%) died from all causes, and 32 patients (11.7%) died from cardiovascular disease (CV). The TTES was computed as follows: 0.109 × aortic root diameter (ARD, mm) - 0.976 × LVEF (> 55%, yes or no) + 0.010 × left ventricular max index, (LVMI, g/m
conclusionTTES is a pretty good predictor of clinical outcomes, and the introduced TTES-based nomogram yields an accurate prediction value for CAPD patients.
