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

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a prevalent yet unpredictable complication among patients undergoing hemodialysis, and frailty is linked to adverse outcomes in this population. This study examined the influence of clinical factors on vascular events in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This multicenter prospective cohort study included patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis since January 2008. The initial cohort consisted of 1,136 patients, 828 of whom successfully underwent a frailty test. CLTI events were recorded at 3-month intervals until December 31, 2022. The mean patient age was 67 years, and 48% were female. Overall, 34% of participants were frail, 38% pre-frail, and 28% not frail. Frailty phenotype was associated with age, female sex, low educational level, diabetes mellitus, and history of stroke. During a median follow-up of 1461 days, 104 patients experienced CLTI events (not frail, 6.5%; pre-frail, 11%; frail, 20%;
