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

Rationale & Objective: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is the gold standard for evaluating cardiovascular functional capacity, as assessed by oxygen uptake at peak exercise (VO Study Design: Cross-sectional analysis from the "Effects of Long Interdialytic Intervals on Cardiovascular Functional Capacity (ECON)" study. Setting & Participants: Thirty patients with kidney failure receiving maintenance thrice-weekly hemodialysis. Predictors: Physical function tests. Outcomes: VO Analytical Approach: Group comparisons for demographics and physical function measures were performed. Multivariable linear regression was used to assess associations. Results: The Low and High groups were well matched by age, sex, and race (all Limitations: The study's small sample size and cross-sectional design limit statistical power and causal inference. Conclusions: Metrics of basic physical function demonstrate limited association with VO
