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

introductionPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in maintenance hemodialysis are vulnerable to adverse hospital-based outcomes. The present study aimed to describe the association between clinical variables and hospital admission and mortality in patients ascribed to an outpatient hemodialysis unit in northeastern Mexico.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analytical study with data recorded during the period of January to June 2025. Two hundred fifteen adult patients with maintenance hemodialysis were included. Associations between clinical data and hospitalizations, readmissions, and in-hospital mortality were analyzed.

resultsIn the present study, 32.8% of patients had CKD related to diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Totally, 53% of patients received two hemodialysis sessions per week. The median number of comorbidities was two and hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity. In total, 37% of patients required at least one hospital admission; the most common cause of hospitalization was volume overload followed by infections. In total, 12% of hospitalized patients died. Hospital admission was associated with cancer, erythropoietin use, fewer hemodialysis sessions and uncontrolled hypertension. Mortality was associated with peripheral artery disease, erythropoietin use and male gender. In multivariable analyses, no independent predictors of in-hospital mortality were identified. We observed a tendency towards an association between diuretic use and hospital readmissions.

conclusionComorbidity burden, pharmacologic treatment and hemodialysis prescription should be taken into account in patients with maintenance hemodialysis to lower hospital-based adverse outcomes. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies aimed at diminishing volume overload may have a significant impact reducing hospitalizations in outpatient hemodialysis patients.
