Outcomes of pediatric urgent-start peritoneal dialysis: a single-center experience from Jordan.
Article in Renal failure, 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
introductionUrgent-start peritoneal dialysis (USPD) provides kidney replacement therapy (KRT) for children with acute kidney injury (AKI) or stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring dialysis. Pediatric data from resource-limited settings remain limited.
methodsWe retrospectively described 18 children who underwent USPD at a tertiary center in Jordan between January 2022 and December 2024. USPD was defined as initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) within 14 days of catheter insertion. Early complications occurred within 14 days of the first PD exchange, and late complications thereafter.
resultsSixteen children had AKI, and two had stage 5 CKD. Etiologies were hemolytic uremic syndrome (6/18, 33.3%) and acute tubular necrosis (4/18, 22.2%). Thirteen (72.2%) initiated PD within 24 h: five at 4-12 h and eight at 24 h. Six developed early complications: a leak on 4/18 (22.2%) and an exit-site infection on 2/18 (11.1%), without overlap. Five developed late complications. Peritonitis affected 4/18 (22.2%) and accounted for five episodes; other late events included a leak in two children, an exit-site complication in one, and catheter obstruction in one, with overlapping categories. At one year, 9/16 children with AKI (56.3%) were no longer receiving dialysis, 3/16 (18.8%) remained on PD, and 4/16 (25.0%) had died. Of the two children with stage 5 CKD, one remained on hemodialysis, and one was dialysis-free after transplantation.
conclusionsThis descriptive, single-center experience on USPD delivery, complications, and one-year outcomes. The small sample, absence of a comparator group, and heterogeneity preclude conclusions about safety, timing effects, or predictors.
