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

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients has been described as a risk factor for worse outcomes such as peritonitis, technique failure, and mortality. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of MCI in a population of PD patients and identify the possible risk factors associated with MCI. Materials and Methods: We performed an observational, cross-sectional study to evaluate cognitive function using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) test in PD patients. Patients with diagnosis of dementia or severe neurologic impairment, active cancer, or infection were excluded. Results: We evaluated 66 patients (mean age 60 years); 53% were male. Prevalence of MCI assessed by MOCA test and MMSE test was 65% and 33%, respectively. Predictors of MCI with MOCA test were higher age ( Conclusion: In our PD population, MCI was detected in more than half of the patients. Patients with MCI were older, had lower education level, more disease burden, and higher risk for developing peritonitis. Lower Kt/V and nPCR levels were associated with MCI.
