The association between body mass index and mortality in diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease is different in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

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.
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 hypothesisThere are diverse results in terms of the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality risk in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The aim was to examine if there is an association between BMI and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and ESRD on hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD).
methodsIncluded were 3,235 patients (mean age 66 ± 14 years, 66% men) with DM on dialysis treatment (2,452 HD, 783 PD) that were followed for 3.9 ± 3.5 years. BMI was calculated as weight (kg)/[height (m)]
resultsDuring the study, 1,688 (53%) patients died (1,275 on HD, 413 on PD). In multivariate analyses, patients on HD with BMI ≤ 18.5 kg/m
conclusionAn increased risk of mortality in underweight DM patients on HD was found. Overweight, class 1 and class 2 obesity were associated with better survival in HD. KEY LEARNING POINTS: The association between BMI and risk of mortality is different in patients with DM on maintenance HD or PD. WHAT WAS KNOWN (MAXIMUM 50 WORDS): The association between BMI and risk of mortality in ESRD population on dialysis treatment is very divers and different study have shown different results. THIS STUDY ADDS (MAXIMUM 50 WORDS): High BMI associated with better survival in patients with diabetes and HD but this finding did not observed with PD. POTENTIAL IMPACT (ON PRACTICE OR UNDERSTANDING, MAXIMUM 50 WORDS): The importance to examine time-varying BMI frequently as independent covariance in patients with dialysis treatment.
