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

backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common and growing health problem that requires adequate Knowledge by health care providers to reduce the progress of the disease. Thus, this study aimed to assess the care provider's Knowledge, attitude, and practices toward CKD.

methodA cross-sectional study conducted among 326 care providers at Jimma University Specialized hospital and three medium to higher clinics found in Jimma Town. Collected data entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 21 for windows for data analysis. Descriptive statistics and generalized linear modal used to analyze the data.

resultThe mean age and service year of the participants were 29.68(±4.877) and 4.28(±4.561), respectively. The overall weighted Knowledge, attitude, and practice score of the study participant were 9.0971(8.77, 9.42), 2.53(2.4, 2.65), 10.14(9.94, 10.33) respectively. Over half of the care providers had the awareness to use eGFR to assess kidney function and patient referral to Nephrologists. Also, many care providers knew the five-stage of CKD and the risk factors of CKD, such as diabetes, long-term alcohol consumption, anemia, and cardiovascular disorders, respectively. Care providers had an understanding of late detection, and referral of CKD would increase kidney disease complications. Besides, 275(84.4%) of them are worried about treatment costs related to CKD. Over half of the care providers, 238(73.0%), believed that the Ethiopian ministry of health gave less attention to the problem. Furthermore, 234(71.8%) are interested in studying more on CKD management. Majority 256(78.5%), very likely or likely refer the patient to senior physician and Nephrologist.

conclusionCare providers showed enough Knowledge, a favorable attitude, and practice toward CKD.
