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
objectivesThe occurrence of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been rarely studied. This study was intended to explore the clinical, electrophysiological and neuropathological features of six patients with CIDP and ESRD.
methodsThe medical records collected in Peking University First Hospital between 2021 and 2024 were reviewed before six patients were identified who had developed CIDP with ESRD. The data on their clinical features, electrophysiological tests, nerve ultrasound, laboratory examinations and sural biopsies was retrieved.
resultsAll the six patients were males ages 35 to 63. Before and after dialysis, all these patients presented with varying degrees of limb sensory impairment and weakness, and reduced or absent tendon reflexes. Albuminocytologic dissociation of cerebrospinal fluid was observed in all of them. Nerve conduction studies identified the demyelinating features while nerve ultrasound showed nerve enlargement of upper limbs. Sural nerve biopsies showed mild to moderate decreases of myelinated nerve fiber density, with differences between different nerve fascicles. Thin myelinated fibers were seen, without onion bulb-like structure. Varying degrees of axonal degeneration with regeneration were identified in some of these patients. Immunotherapy was effective in all these patients.
conclusionsThe diagnosis of CIDP should be considered if an ESRD patient develops progressive demyelinating neuropathy. Immune therapy has shown clinical efficacy despite the underlying mechanisms that remain poorly understood.
