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
introductionEnd-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with a significantly increased risk of hip fractures and a higher rate of postoperative complications and mortality, particularly in patients on hemodialysis (HD). The timing of HD relative to surgery may influence outcomes by altering acid–base balance, electrolyte levels, and fluid status. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of perioperative HD timing on postoperative complication rates in ESRD patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients with ESRD on HD who underwent operative treatment for hip fractures at a single Level I academic trauma center. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and perioperative variables were collected. Timing of HD was calculated as the interval in hours from the start of HD to the start of surgery. Disruptions in patients’ routine HD schedules were also recorded. Univariable logistic regression was used to assess associations between HD timing and 90-day postoperative complications.
resultsForty-one patients met inclusion criteria; 25 (61.0%) experienced a postoperative complication. The interval between HD and surgery did not significantly predict postoperative outcomes. Disruption of routine HD schedules, observed in 31 patients, was also not associated with increased risk of complications (OR = 0.94, 95% CI = [0.22, 4.00], p = 0.929).
conclusionsNeither the timing of preoperative HD nor disruptions in HD scheduling were significantly associated with 90-day postoperative complications in ESRD patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. As the first study to examine this relationship in this population, these findings contribute to the growing body of evidence guiding perioperative management in dialysis-dependent patients. Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these results.
