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

Cognitive frailty can lead to an impaired functional capacity and a poor quality of life, especially in patients on hemodialysis. This study aimed to investigate cognitive frailty and its risk factors in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis. A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and June 2021 involving 220 patients with CKD receiving hemodialysis at a hospital-based hemodialysis center in northern Taiwan. Data were collected using a structured survey covering demographics, cognitive function, physical frailty, depressive symptoms, physical activity, and nutritional status. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors for cognitive frailty. In total, 220 patients were recruited. Prevalences of cognitive impairment, physical frailty, depressive symptoms, and cognitive frailty were 46.8%, 10.0%, 52.3%, and 9%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex, and years of hemodialysis, identified malnutrition (aOR = 12.405; 95% CI = 3.29-46.81) and physical inactivity (aOR = 89.445; 95% CI = 5.87-1363.93) as significant risk factors for cognitive frailty. The study suggests the need for strategies to enhance physical activity and nutritional status to prevent cognitive frailty in patients with CKD receiving hemodialysis.
