Prediction model for cognitive impairment in maintenance hemodialysis patients: the role of diabetes.

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
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for cognitive impairment (CI) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and to develop a predictive model. Methods: A total of 151 MHD patients from our hospital were recruited between July 2020 and April 2021. Sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), whereas physical performance was evaluated using handgrip strength, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), and 4-m gait speed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified risk factors, which were used to develop original and simplified predictive models. Results: CI was present in 43 patients (28.5%). The simplified model demonstrated discriminatory ability comparable to that of the original model (AUC: 0.737; 95% CI: 0.648-0.818) and was easier to use. A robust nomogram was developed on the basis of the simplified model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) confirmed the clinical utility of both models. Diabetes was identified as an independent risk factor, whereas dialysis duration was not associated with CI. Conclusions: This study provides a simple predictive model for CI in MHD patients, which could aid in clinical decision-making.
