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: Chronic renal failure can impact various body systems, including the skin and its appendages. Patients with uremic conditions have been observed to experience a variety of nail changes. This study was conducted to evaluate the presence and type of fingernail changes in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) on regular hemodialysis (HD) by nail dermoscopy. Methods: A total of 100 patients with ESRF on regular HD three times a week. Nails were examined by dermoscopy for the presence of subtle nail changes. Results: Nail changes were found in 91% of patients, while 9% did not have nail changes. The most common dermoscopic findings were as follows; scales in lateral nail fold in 91% of the patients, dry cuticle in 84%, onychoschizia in 72%, and longitudinal striation in 69%. There was no significant relation between nail changes and sex, duration of HD, and albumin level. Conclusion: Patients with end-stage renal disease on HD are more likely to experience nail disorders. Scales in LNF, dry cuticle, onychoschizia, longitudinal striation, terry's nails, and half-and-half nails were the most common nail changes in HD patients.
