High-sensitivity Glasgow prognostic score and infection-related mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients: 10-year outcomes of the Q-Cohort Study.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInfection is a major cause of death in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD). We examined whether the high-sensitivity Glasgow prognostic score (hsGPS), derived from serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin, is associated with infection-related mortality.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 3529 patients undergoing maintenance HD enrolled between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 and followed until December 31, 2016. We used a high-sensitivity Glasgow prognostic score (hsGPS), defined using a lower CRP threshold in a GPS-type manner as follows: score 0, CRP ≤ 0.3 mg/dL and albumin ≥ 3.5 g/dL; score 1, CRP > 0.3 mg/dL or albumin < 3.5 g/dL; and score 2, CRP > 0.3 mg/dL and albumin < 3.5 g/dL. Associations were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox proportional hazards models, Fine-Gray competing-risk models, and restricted cubic spline analyses.
resultsDuring a median follow-up of 3199 days, 1748 deaths occurred, including 451 infection-related deaths. In descriptive Kaplan-Meier analysis, infection-related death-free survival was lower in higher hsGPS groups. In the multivariable-adjusted Cox model, hazard ratios for infection-related mortality were 1.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43-2.24) for hsGPS 1 and 2.38 (95% CI 1.71-3.31) for hsGPS 2, compared with hsGPS 0. Competing-risk analyses showed similar trends, although the associations were attenuated. Restricted cubic spline analyses showed higher risk at lower albumin levels and higher CRP levels.
conclusionsHigher hsGPS was associated with higher infection-related mortality in patients undergoing maintenance HD. hsGPS may serve as a simple risk stratification tool in this population.
