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

introductionMany patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including peritoneal dialysis (PD), have sarcopenia. It is important to evaluate muscle mass to prevent sarcopenia in the field of CKD management. Recently, muscle mass assessment using psoas muscle evaluated by computed tomography (CT) has been reported in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, few clinical studies have investigated the clinical factors associated with the evaluation of psoas muscle in patients undergoing PD.

methodsPsoas muscle mass index (PMI) was measured in cross-sectional areas of the bilateral psoas muscles at the third lumbar spine level to evaluate psoas muscle status. The associations between PMI and possible clinical factors were investigated in 68 patients undergoing PD.

resultsThe mean PMI was 6.3 ± 2.0 cm

conclusionPMI was independently and significantly associated with gender, BMI, serum creatinine concentration, serum albumin concentration and the use of vitamin D. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify whether the maintenance of nutritional status or vitamin D administration could affect muscle mass in patients undergoing PD.
