Effectiveness of integrated care on delaying chronic kidney disease progression in rural communities of Thailand (ESCORT-2) trials.
Article in Nephrology (Carlton, Vic.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimWe conducted a prospective cohort study to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated care model on delaying chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in routine clinical practice in rural primary care setting.
methodsAfter enrolment, patients with stages 3 to 4 CKD patients from five district hospitals in a northern province of Thailand (400 km from Bangkok) received integrated care comprising hospital multidisciplinary care and home visits by community care teams. Clinical characteristics and biochemical data were collected at baseline and every 3-month interval thereafter for 36 months. The primary outcome was the rate of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline.
resultsNine hundred and fourteen stage -3 and - 4 CKD patients were enrolled. The mean age of our cohort was 62 years. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) was the main cause of CKD (53%) whereas hypertension was the most common co-morbidity (92%). The mean rate of eGFR decline was -0.92 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionThis integrated care model at the community level was effective in delaying CKD progression in routine clinical practice situation.
