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: Incremental peritoneal dialysis (IPD) seeks to reduce the immediate treatment burden by utilizing residual kidney function. However, its long-term effects on nutritional status remain unclear. This study investigated how an initial IPD strategy influences the longitudinal trajectories of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Methods: This retrospective study included patients who received peritoneal dialysis (PD) at the Second Hospital of Jilin University between January 2016 and July 2024. We employed linear mixed-effects models to analyze population-level trends in PNI. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was utilized to identify patterns of PNI evolution, while multivariable Cox models assessed the relationship between these patterns and all-cause mortality. Additionally, multivariable logistic regression, which included multiple imputation and entropy balancing-derived inverse probability weights (IPW), was used to explore the independent association between the type of dialysis and trajectory membership. Results: A total of 311 patients who initiated PD between 2016 and 2024 were included, of whom 230 received full-dose PD and 81 received IPD. Throughout the follow-up period, 80.25% of patients on IPD were transitioned to full-dose PD at a median of 10 months. Mixed-effects modeling indicated no significant differences in PNI levels or rates of decline between the two modalities (time-by-modality interaction P = 0.378). GBTM revealed three distinct PNI trajectories: low, moderate, and high. The high-level trajectory was associated with a significantly reduced risk of mortality compared to the low-level group (fully adjusted HR = 0.17, P < 0.001). However, in IPW-adjusted models, the initial dialysis modality did not show an independent association with any specific PNI trajectory. These findings remained consistent across multiple sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: When accompanied by dynamic prescription adjustments, IPD sustains mid- to long-term nutritional trajectories that are comparable to those achieved with full-dose PD.
