Chronic Kidney Disease, Queensland (CKD.QLD) Registry: Management of CKD With Telenephrology.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionEnabled by the Chronic Kidney Disease, Queensland (CKD.QLD) Registry, we aim to outline the structure, implementation, and outcomes of telenephrology clinics for the management of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in rural, regional, and remote areas of the Darling Downs region in Queensland, Australia.
methodsThis is an observational registry-based study involving adult patients with CKD, attending specialist clinics, and residing ≥50 km away from Toowoomba Hospital. The telenephrology cohort (TC) included those who had their follow-up appointments via videoconference at local Queensland Health facilities, and the standard care cohort (SCC) included those who continue to have their follow-up in Toowoomba Hospital.
resultsA total of 234 patients with CKD were seen via videoconference clinics between September 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016, representing 22.2% of the CKD registry cohort from Toowoomba Hospital. The baseline characteristics and comorbid profiles of both groups were similar. The Aboriginal population was overrepresented in the TC (22.2% vs. 5.9%). As a group for each visit, the TC traveled 100,000 km less (both ways) to see a specialist physically. During follow-up, 5.1% of patients in the TC were initiated on dialysis whereas 9.9% were initiated on dialysis in the SCC (
conclusionTelenephrology clinics were safe, economical, and efficient for the delivery of specialist care for patients with CKD living at a distance from the main referral hospital. Such care was comparable to standard care delivered at the main hospital but with clear benefits to the patients in terms of reduced travel distance, more independence, and similar outcomes.
