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

backgroundAutologous radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistulas (RC-AVFs) represent the first option for hemodialysis in China. However, they exhibit a high rate of failure to mature.

methodsA total of 196 first-time RC-AVFs were included. We analyzed preoperative clinical and ultrasonic characteristics and bioelectrical impedance to screen risk factors using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Subsequently, we constructed a nomogram and employed bootstrap resampling for internal validation. Additionally, we developed a risk score equation using a simplified Framingham heart study point system. Finally, we used a restricted cubic spline diagram to determine the clinical significance of the model variables.

resultsSeventy-six (38.8%) RC-AVFs failed to mature within 6 months. We identified arterial diameter (AD), total cholesterol (CHO) levels, lean tissue index (LTI), and a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) (

conclusionThe risk prediction model incorporating LTI, CHO levels, AD, and a history of CAD showed good predictive performance for RC-AVF outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease.
