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

backgroundA combination of multiple nutritional indexes may more comprehensively and favorably reflect dialysis patient's prognosis. In the present study, we aimed to evaluated the association between total cholesterol/(body mass index × serum albumin) (TC/BA) and mortality in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).

methodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study that included 2907 incident Chinese CAPD patients from seven peritoneal dialysis centers in China between January 1, 2005, and May 31, 2023. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. We used restricted-cubic-spline plots to explore the shape of the association between TC/BA and outcome. Cause-specific hazard models examined the association between TC/BA and mortality.

resultsOf 2907 patients, 754 (25.9%) patients died, including 351 (46.6%) deaths due to cardiovascular disease. A positive linear relationship was observed between TC/BA and all-cause mortality (nonlinear,

conclusionsTC/BA was positively linearly related to mortality and may outperform each index in assessing CAPD patient prognosis. The combined nutritional index may more comprehensively and favorably evaluate CAPD patients' prognosis.
