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: Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The aim of this study was to construct a risk prediction model for frequent episodes in PDAP patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included PDAP patients in our center from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2021. The risk prediction model for frequent episodes in PDAP patients was constructed by the binary logistic regression. Results: We included 371 PDAP patients, of which 235 patients had single episode and 136 had frequent episodes. We randomly allocated the patients into training set (296 patients) and test set (75 patients) in the ratio of 8:2. In the training set, we found several independent risk factors significantly associated with frequent episodes in PDAP patients, including diabetes mellitus (DM), hemoglobin (HB), serum albumin (ALB), lactatic dehydrogenase (LDH), serum potassium (K), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and peritoneal dialysate white cell counts on day 1. And we constructed a prediction model with an area under curve (AUC) values of 0.75 in the training set and 0.76 in the test set, which showed excellent predictive performance. Conclusion: We constructed a predictive model that demonstrated excellent predictive performance for identifying high-risk frequent episodes in PDAP patients and developed a more intuitive nomogram for evaluating the risk. However, multicenter studies with a larger sample size are warranted to validate the model in the future.
