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

Uremia is the advanced stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by the accumulation of metabolic waste products in the blood as a result of the kidneys' inability to meet the body's metabolic demands. Patients with uremia frequently experience a range of complications, including renal anemia, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease, all of which significantly impair their quality of life. Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is a common comorbidity in uremic patients, particularly among those undergoing hemodialysis, with prevalence rates ranging from 10 to 77%. This case report enrolled three patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-ap) who underwent ultrasound-guided sympathetic nerve blockade procedures. The results demonstrated significant reductions in pruritus intensity concurrent with measurable enhancements in sleep quality and daily functioning.
