Summary of the best evidence for preventing the failure of autologous arteriovenous fistulas in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Synthesis in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Background: Autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred dialysis access for maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and is regarded as the "lifeline" for these patients. A well-functioning AVF not only improves the adequacy of dialysis for the patients, but also enhances their quality of life. Objective: To retrieve, evaluate, and summarize the relevant evidence on preventing the failure of AVF in MHD patients, and to provide evidence-based basis for medical staff to formulate management measures. Methods: According to the "5S" pyramid model of evidence, search for relevant literature on AVF failure management on guideline websites, professional society websites, and Chinese-English databases. The types of literature include guidelines, expert consensuses, clinical decisions, evidence summaries, best practices, recommended practices, and systematic reviews. The search period is from the establishment of the database to January 20, 2026. Two researchers independently conducted literature quality evaluation, evidence extraction, and integration. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) evidence pre-rating system of the Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence-Based Health Care Center was used for evidence classification. Results: A total of 15 articles were included, including 6 guidelines, 4 expert consensuses, 4 clinical decisions, and 1 systematic review. 28 best evidence items were extracted from 6 aspects: including Personnel Management and Training, Perioperative Management, Intraoperative Management, Postoperative Management, Puncture Care, and Complications Management. Conclusion: This study summarizes the relevant evidence on preventing AVF failure in MHD patients and suggests that medical staff should formulate management plans for preventing AVF failure based on clinical scenarios. Systematic review registration: This study was registered at the Fudan University Centre for Evidence-based Nursing (Registration No. ES202610323).
