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

Objectives: Nontunneled hemodialysis catheters (NTHCs) are commonly used for emergent renal replacement therapy (RRT); however, its failure remains a clinically challenging issue due to limited data available regarding associated risk factors. This study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with NTHC failure. Materials and Methods: Adult patients ( Results: The repeat-insertion group showed significantly higher arrhythmia prevalence, use of antiplatelets/anticoagulants, and longer duration of the initial NTHC than did the single-insertion group. Within the repeat-insertion group, the reasons for NTHC removal differed between the initial and subsequent insertions. The adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for repeated NTHC were 1.99 and 12.91 for patients with arrhythmia and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) during hospitalization, respectively, compared to those without (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00-3.95 and 1.62-102.89, respectively). Patients with atrial fibrillation likely required repeated NTHC insertion (aOR: 2.06; CI: 0.96-4.43; Conclusion: Arrhythmia and CRBSI were identified as risk factors for NTHC failure.
