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

Hydrothorax is a possible complication of peritoneal dialysis due to migration of dialysate from the peritoneal cavity to the thoracic cavity through a congenital or acquired diaphragmatic defect that allows its passage. Diagnosis is clinical, supported by peritoneal CT and pleural fluid analysis. Therapy is given in the first instance by discontinuation of the peritoneal method, but sometimes an attempt may be made to reinstate it with appropriate changes in the prescription. We report here our experience about a case of hydrothorax during peritoneal dialysis reporting the most recent protocols for proper management.
