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: Management of blood flow in arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a critical clinical issue for hemodialysis (HD) patients. Objectives: To determine the effect of microcirculation of AVF in HD patients with photobiomodulation (PBM). Methods: Twenty HD patients were enrolled in this study. PBM was used to radiate the palm of HD patients at a total dose of 126 J, and the microcirculatory analysis in AVF was investigated. Results: Among the patients <65 years old, there is an increase of 2.31% and 1.37% in the average velocity and flux in AVF, respectively. This increase is higher than those observed in patients aged >65 years old. Additionally, the cumulative effect of the 830 nm laser was observed for at least 10 min, resulting in continuous increases of 3.16% in velocity and 1.59% in flux for HD patients <65 years old. On the contrary, the average velocity and flux in AVF increased in patients who had undergone HD for <6 years. Conclusions: In this study, the age and the duration of HD treatment are the two factors that influence microcirculation in HD patients with PBM. The results suggest that PBM could be used to improve the average velocity and flux in AVF, particularly for younger patients with shorter HD treatment durations.
