Comparison of CT acquired cardiac valvular calcification scores in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients undergoing open heart surgery.

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
Study objective: Data is scarce regarding which dialysis modality portends more severe cardiac valvular calcification (CVC). Our aim was to compare the degree of CVC in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient cohorts prior to open heart surgery (OHS) using a CT calcium score. Design setting and participants: Dialysis patients who underwent OHS at our institution from 2009 to 2019 and who had pre-surgical cardiac CT were included in our study. We obtained duration of dialysis modality prior to their surgical date. There were two study cohorts to evaluate outcomes of interest: mitral and aortic calcification. CVC was assessed using the Agatston score. Logistic regression was performed to test for the association of PD and HD cumulative dialysis duration with presence of CVC. Results: A total of 214 and 166 patients met inclusion for the mitral and aortic strata, respectively. Age, female sex, and BMI were associated with higher odds of presence of mitral calcification. Age and BMI were associated with higher odds of presence of aortic calcification, while female sex was associated with lower odds in the aortic strata. Cumulative years on PD and cumulative years on HD were not significantly associated with presence of CVC in either cohort. Conclusion: Presence of mitral and aortic calcification for patients undergoing OHS was not significantly associated with cumulative length of PD or HD after adjusting for age, gender, and BMI suggesting that there may be more factors at play in the progression of CVC in end stage renal disease patients than what was previously established.
