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

Introduction: Internationally, peritoneal dialysis (PD) is increasingly being commenced within 2 weeks of catheter insertion. Studies are warranted to evaluate outcomes of this strategy. Methods: This study examines outcomes of early-start PD (ESPD) and conventional-start PD (CSPD), commencing at ≤14 days and >14 days after catheter insertion, respectively. All adults with kidney failure within a large metropolitan PD unit initiating PD through a new catheter, inserted using laparoscopic or modified Seldinger technique, between August 2019 and August 2022, were included in this retrospective observational study. Demographic data and episodes of infectious and mechanical complications were collected using electronic medical records. Analysis was conducted using analysis of variance and Chi-square testing. A Results: A total of 297 patients (70% male, mean age 58.7 years) were included, with 130 (43.8%) patients undertaking ESPD. Most patients had laparoscopically inserted catheters (65.3%) and 65 patients (22.0%) received prior hemodialysis. When compared to CSPD, ESPD was associated with a higher number of pericatheter leaks (6.9% vs. 0.6%, Conclusion: ESPD is associated with increased pericatheter leaks when compared to CSPD, with an otherwise similar complication profile.
