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
introductionAnnually, over 3.5 million Hajj pilgrims from approximately 180 countries worldwide travel to Mecca for Hajj rituals. End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a high-morbidity condition that necessitates high-cost and time-intensive care, the present study aims to investigate the prevalence and economic burden of ESKD among Iranian Hajj pilgrims during the last decade.
methodsAll demographic information, risk factors, prevalence and Hospital costs of ESKD were extracted from the database and medical records of the Hajj Pilgrimage Medical Centre, Iranian Red Crescent Society through file reading. Also, the multiple logistic regression model was used.
resultsIn total, the study encompassed data on 469,581 Hajj pilgrims. According to the findings, the highest prevalence of ESKD was observed in pilgrims aged 70 years and above. Results show that for the gender variable, the odds of having ESKD among women is 0.523 times that of men, for the creatinine (Cr), for each unit increase in the level of blood creatinine, the odds of having ESKD will be 1.383 times, Additionally, in pilgrims with diabetes (1) and hypertension (HTN), the odds of ESKD are 2.33 and 3.345 times, respectively. Results show that the mean total hospital costs are $4178.4.
conclusionThe present study shows a significant difference in the prevalence of ESKD in age, gender, and distribution in different provinces. To reduce the mortality and morbidity of ESKD patients, appropriate medication prescriptions, on-time dialysis, lifestyle modifications, and the reduction of disease complications through consultation with a nephrologist are essential during Hajj.
