Survival of paediatric dialysis patients in Türkiye over a three-year follow-up: findings from national database.

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
backgroundDialysis is a life-saving treatment for children with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), but it is associated with a high long-term mortality that varies between countries. The aim of this study was to compare 3-year survival rates of children and adolescents on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) based on national data from Türkiye.
methodsWe analyzed the national registry data to assess survival rates among pediatric patients on dialysis in Türkiye. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models compared PD and HD survival outcomes, adjusting for age, period of initial dialysis commencement, and primary diagnosis.
resultsThe study included 1,002 children with a mean age of 12.71 ± 4.80 years. The overall mortality rate among pediatric dialysis patients was 25.8 deaths per 1000 patient-years, with adjusted analyses showing a 5-year survival advantage for PD over HD (adjusted p = 0.000001). The median adjusted survival probability was 0.89 (IQR 0.26) for PD and 0.83 (IQR 0.08) for HD, and PD demonstrated superior outcomes particularly in non-CAKUT children aged 6-12 and > 12 years (p = 0.004 and 0.013, respectively). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that haemodialysis, initiation of dialysis between 2006 and 2018, and younger age (< 12 years) were independently associated with an increased risk of mortality in paediatric dialysis patients.
conclusionIn Türkiye, peritoneal dialysis has been shown to be associated with better survival rates than haemodialysis in children with stage 5 CKD, particularly among younger patients.
