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

Online hemodiafiltration (Ol-HDF) and expanded hemodialysis (HDx; using medium cut-off dialyzers) have shown superior removal of diverse uremic toxins, particularly middle molecules and inflammatory cytokines, compared to conventional hemodialysis (HD). However, the relative efficacy of toxin removal between HDx and Ol-HDF remains unclear. This study aimed to compare these two techniques. A randomized controlled trial was conducted among thrice-weekly hemodialysis patients. Participants were randomized into either a post-dilution Ol-HDF group or an HDx group using two types of medium cut-off dialyzers (Theranova 500
