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

End-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) access are at risk of stenosis in the draining vein of the AVF, which may lead to AVF thrombosis. However, Doppler ultrasound (DUS) parameters used to assess venous stenosis are numerous, and the thresholds to be used vary widely in the literature. Aims were to define DUS parameters to detect venous stenosis either severe or significant. This is a single-centre retrospective study including patients who underwent a routine DUS surveillance for distal radiocephalic AVF. At the axillary (Ax) and brachial (Brach) levels, blood flow (Q), resistance index (RI), Q/RI at Ax (Q/RI
