A Comparison of Hospitalization Outcomes Between Peritoneal Dialysis and Home Hemodialysis Patients by Sex and Race.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: As interest in home dialysis as an initial dialysis modality grows, it remains unclear how the different home dialysis modalities may impact hospitalization outcomes, or how this relationship may change depending on patient sex and race. Methods: We compared all-cause hospitalization rates and days in hospital between incident peritoneal dialysis (PD, Results: The overall hospitalization rate was 0.82 hospitalization events per patient-year. Compared with those initiated on PD, HHD patients had a lower hospitalization rate (incident rate ratio [IRR] = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.71-0.85), and spent fewer days in hospital (IRR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.59-0.78). This was more pronounced in more contemporary cohorts and for males. The protective effect of HHD was stronger for Black patients. When hospitalizations were analyzed by cause, the protective effect of HHD was stronger for infection-related admissions, with Black patients seeing the largest benefit. Conclusion: The type of home modality at dialysis initiation is associated with differences in hospitalization outcomes, an association that is stronger in selected racial groups and sexes. While exploratory in nature, our work highlights the importance of further study on the differential impact of PD and HHD on hospitalization outcomes so that patients incident to dialysis may make an informed decision.
