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

End-stage chronic kidney disease markedly increases susceptibility to infections due to compromised immune function and other physiological alterations. Bacteremia is responsible for higher mortality rates in hemodialysis patients compared to the general population. Our study aimed to investigate the incidence and clinical outcomes among patients with end-stage CKD and associated infections. The study retrospectively analyzed admitted patients between 1 January 2023 and 31 May 2025. Among 56 hospitalized patients with CKD and infection (30 hemodialysis [HD], 26 non-HD), baseline comorbidity profiles were broadly comparable. Microbiology was frequently positive (46/56, 82.1%), dominated by
