Home run-results of a chronic kidney disease Telemedicine Patient Education Study.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05138419 (A Pragmatic Approach to Chronic Kidney Disease Patient Education in the Delta), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence is increasing and associated mortality and morbidity are high. Educating patients is effective in delaying progression and establishing optimal renal replacement therapy (RRT). Tele-education/telemedicine (TM) can be an effective tool to provide such education, but there are no available data quantifying its effectiveness. We attempted to establish such evidence correlating the effect of education in patient choices and with the start of actual RRT. We present results from a 3-year pilot study evaluating the effectiveness of comprehensive predialysis education (CPE) through TM for CKD patients compared with a standard care group [face to face (FTF)]. The patient's ability to choose RRT was the primary endpoint.
methodsThis was a randomized controlled study providing CPE over three classes at nine sites (one FTF and eight TM). Three assessment tools were utilized to compare groups: CKD knowledge, literacy and quality of life.
resultsA total of 47.1% of FTF and 52.2% of TM patients reported not having enough information to choose a modality. This decreased by the third visit (FTF 7.4%, TM 13.2%). Home modality choices more than doubled in both groups (FTF 25.8-67.7%, TM 22.2-50.1%). In patients that completed one visit and needed to start RRT, 47% started on a home modality or received a pre-emptive transplant (home hemodialysis 6%, peritoneal dialysis 38%, transplant 3%).
conclusionsResults show almost 90% (TM 87%, FTF 95%) of the attendees could choose a modality after education. Home modality choices doubled. Patients were able to make an informed choice regardless of the modality of education.
