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

High rates of early failure and non-maturation remain major challenges in wrist radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula (RC-AVF) creation for hemodialysis access. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the role of preoperative color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) in predicting successful fistula maturation in 80 patients. Radial artery diameter ≥2.0 mm and cephalic vein diameter ≥2.5 mm were significantly associated with maturation (p < 0.05), with CDUS showing 87% sensitivity and 75% specificity. Higher flow volumes also correlated with better outcomes. Preoperative CDUS is a valuable tool that enhances patient selection and improves AVF success rates.
