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

introductionBartter syndrome (BS) is a rare inherited salt-wasting disorder affecting the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. It is characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, polyuria, and secondary normotensive hyperaldosteronism. A minority of patients may progress to end-stage kidney disease while maintaining polyuria and normokalemia. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) may represent a suitable option for these patients when kidney transplantation is not available. However, due to its rarity, there are no data on PD-related outcomes.

methodsHere, we report 2 cases of PD treatment in BS from two Italian referral centers.

resultsIn both cases, PD was discontinued early because of peritonitis.

conclusionAlthough no causal relationship can be established, these observations highlight the need for heightened vigilance regarding infectious complications in this population.
