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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a rising public health concern in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with urban populations disproportionately affected. In Bangladesh, particularly in Dhaka, dialysis services have become essential for CKD management. This study investigates the determinants of revisit intention among adult attendants of dialysis patients in Dhaka, using partial least squares structural equation modeling. A cross-sectional survey was conducted across four major dialysis centers totaling 399 valid responses. A purposive sampling technique was employed to ensure the inclusion of respondents with relevant experience and engagement in dialysis service utilization. Among respondents, over half were male, 43% had primary to higher secondary education, and one-third reported household incomes between BDT 40,001 and 60,000. The largest age group was 45-49 years (32.3%), and nearly 60% selected the facility due to nearness. Reliability and validity metrics met recommended thresholds, and multivariate normality was not assumed (Mardia's test,
