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 and Aims: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common phenomenon during hemodialysis (HD), with profound complications and all-cause mortality. Data on IHD is scarce in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study aimed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and outcome associated with recurrent IDH among patients on maintenance HD. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre HD unit between August 1, 2021 and July 31, 2022. In the study, 39 met the inclusion criteria, and a total of 4706 HD sessions were analyzed. The predictor was the occurrence of recurrent IDH. The outcomes were mortality from IDH, hospital admission due to IDH, and termination of the respective HD session. Descriptive statistics for categorical and continuous variables. A Results: The incidence of IDH was 4.35%; 46.3% of these IDH episodes were recurrent. Risk of IDH was higher in patients with pre-dialytic serum inorganic phosphate levels > 1.8 mmol/L (RR: 2.33, 95% CI: 1.02-5.35, Conclusion: Recurrent IDH is more common in males, among patients with hyperphosphatemia, and shows seasonal variations. Systolic blood pressure of < 140 mmHg confers a protective effect against recurrent IDH.
