Challenges of access to kidney care for children in low-resource settings.
Review in Nature reviews. Nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 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
Kidney disease is a global public health concern across the age spectrum, including in children. However, our understanding of the true burden of kidney disease in low-resource areas is often hampered by a lack of disease awareness and access to diagnosis. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in low-resource settings poses multiple challenges, including late diagnosis, the need for ongoing access to care and the frequent unavailability of costly therapies such as dialysis and transplantation. Moreover, children in such settings are at particular risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) owing to preventable and/or reversible causes - many children likely die from potentially reversible kidney disease because they lack access to appropriate care. Acute peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important low-cost treatment option. Initiatives, such as the Saving Young Lives programme, to train local medical staff from low-resource areas to provide care for AKI, including acute PD, have already saved hundreds of children. Future priorities include capacity building for both educational purposes and to provide further resources for AKI management. As local knowledge and confidence increase, CKD management strategies should also develop. Increased awareness and advocacy at both the local government and international levels will be required to continue to improve the diagnosis and treatment of AKI and CKD in children worldwide.
