Why multidisciplinary clinics should be the standard for treating chronic kidney disease.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
In adults, strong evidence indicates that slowing progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach. In children, however, this approach has not been studied. This editorial commentary to the study by Ajarmeh et al in this volume of Pediatric Nephrology highlights how a dedicated, multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dieticians, social workders and clinic data managers slowed the progression of CKD in children to a remarkable degree. We discuss the strengths and limitations of the study and its cost implications, as well as the issue of determining the optional complement of physicians and allied health care professionals in such clinics. Our calculations indicate that the additional costs of such clinics would be recovered in one year, even if the progession of CKD were to be delayed by 1 year in only 2% of affected children. Here, we call on the international pediatric nephrology community to establish guidelines for forming multidisciplinary clinics throughout the world.
