Mandatory Stent Removal for Eradication of Infection in a Hemodialysis-Dependent Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Venous stent infection is a rare but serious complication in hemodialysis patients, associated with significant morbidity. Early recognition and management remain challenging due to the nonspecific presentation. A 29-year-old female on maintenance hemodialysis presented with fever and leukocytosis following cephalic arch venoplasty and stent placement. Despite targeted intravenous antibiotics, she failed to improve clinically. Subsequent stent removal was performed, leading to resolution of the infection. This case underscores the importance of considering stent infection in febrile dialysis patients with recent venous intervention. It highlights that in immunocompromised hosts, prompt stent removal may be necessary for source control when medical therapy fails. This report adds to the limited literature on the management of infected hemodialysis access stents.
