The current status and evolution of hemodialysis catheters.
Review in Renal failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a growing global health burden, with an increasing number of CKD patients progressing to renal failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Hemodialysis is widely regarded as the usual treatment modality for patients with ESRD. Currently, more than 85% of patients initiating hemodialysis (HD) in the United States utilize a catheter for vascular access. HD is often inseparable from the use of catheters in clinical practice. Consequently, the utilization of HD catheters has risen, despite their associated complications and adverse outcomes. To minimize complications during dialysis sessions, various strategies are employed, including optimized catheter designs, specialized catheter lock solutions or functional coatings, and effective catheter care. This review outlined the current state and development of HD catheters, along with the associated adverse outcomes and effective care strategies.
