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

backgroundFoot problems are common in haemodialysis patients, making treatment and disease management difficult due to their serious complications and creating a significant financial burden on healthcare expenses.

objectiveIn this study, we assessed the foot problems in haemodialysis patients.

designA retrospective descriptive and single-centre study was conducted.

participantsThe study was conducted with 75 patients undergoing haemodialysis treatment between 1 January and 31 August 2024. The study was granted ethical approval before data were collected. MEASUREMENTS: An assessment form that included the introductory characteristics of the patients was used to collect data, and the results of the foot assessment performed by the podiatrist.

resultsWe detected at least one foot problem in 70.6% of the participants. The three most common foot problems were dryness/cracks (45.3%), onychomycosis (28.3%), and calluses (15.2%). Foot problems were significantly more common in individuals who were 51 years old or older (p = .019), as well as in those with diabetes (p < .001) and hypertension (p = 0.001).

conclusionDifferent types of foot problems, particularly dryness and cracks, were identified in haemodialysis patients. These findings highlight the importance of routine foot assessments in dialysis units and the need to integrate structured foot care education into clinical practice to prevent potential complications from arising.
