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

backgroundIntradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent complication of hemodialysis (HD). Although nadir blood pressure-based definitions are prognostically relevant, their use in daily practice is limited because accurate identification requires frequent blood pressure monitoring. Because blood pressure (BP) is routinely measured during HD, the magnitude of the systolic BP rise during blood return may provide a simple and practical marker for identifying IDH.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at a single HD center. Study 1 evaluated factors associated with the pressor response index in 53 HD patients across 159 sessions using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Study 2 examined the ability of the index to discriminate HD sessions with and without IDH as defined by McCausland et al.

resultsThe pressor response index was significantly associated with maximum systolic BP drop and hypovolemic symptoms. The index clearly distinguished sessions with and without IDH. The effect size was large (Cohen's d = 1.41), and ROC analysis showed good discrimination (AUC 0.823). The optimal cut-off value was 10.3% (sensitivity 0.84, specificity 0.65).

conclusionThe pressor response index may represent a simple, objective, and practical marker for identifying IDH in routine clinical practice.
