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 Incremental hemodialysis (iHD) involves gradually increasing dialysis dose as residual kidney function (RKF) declines. RKF has been identified as a strong predictor of patient survival. Given the importance of maintaining RKF in hemodialysis patients, our study aimed to analyze predictors of accelerated RKF loss in those undergoing iHD. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 incident patients who started twice-weekly iHD between March 2017 and May 2022. Inclusion criteria were age ≥18 years, Kru ≥3 ml/min/1.73 m
