Inpatient educational program delays the need for dialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease stage G5.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundInpatient educational programs (IEPs) for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) decrease CKD progression. However, patients with end-stage kidney disease who started dialysis during the observation period were excluded from previous studies.
methodsAfter adjusting for age, sex, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin level, and the presence of diabetes mellitus using 1:1 propensity score matching (caliper width of 0.008) in the groups that did and did not receive an IEP, we compared the time period from the beginning of CKD stage G5 to the start of dialysis and patient characteristics at the start of dialysis.
resultsPrior to matching, 41 patients received an IEP and 260 did not. After propensity score matching, the 41 patients who received an IEP had a longer period from the beginning of stage G5 to the start of dialysis (344 vs. 257 days, P = 0.011), shorter hospitalization period upon the start of dialysis (14 vs. 18 days, P = 0.015) compared with the 41 patients who did not receive an IEP. In addition, the proportion of patients with a planned start of dialysis tended to be higher in the IEP group (95.1 vs. 83.0%, P = 0.077).
conclusionAn IEP may delay the start of dialysis in patients with end-stage kidney disease, contribute to better preparation of vascular access placement and the smoother start of dialysis.
