Remote Treatment Monitoring on Hospitalization and Technique Failure Rates in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.
Article in Kidney360, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: An integrated kidney disease healthcare company implemented a peritoneal dialysis (PD) remote treatment monitoring (RTM) application in 2016. We assessed if RTM utilization associates with hospitalization and technique failure rates. Methods: We used data from adult (age ≥18 years) patients on PD treated from October 2016 through May 2019 who registered online for the RTM. Patients were classified by RTM use during a 30-day baseline after registration. Groups were: nonusers (never entered data), moderate users (entered one to 15 treatments), and frequent users (entered >15 treatments). We compared hospital admission/day and sustained technique failure (required >6 consecutive weeks of hemodialysis) rates over 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of follow-up using Poisson and Cox models adjusted for patient/clinical characteristics. Results: Among 6343 patients, 65% were nonusers, 11% were moderate users, and 25% were frequent users. Incidence rate of hospital admission was 22% (incidence rate ratio [IRR]=0.78; Conclusions: Our findings suggest frequent use of an RTM application associates with less hospital admissions, shorter hospital length of stay, and lower technique failure rates. Adoption of RTM applications may have the potential to improve timely identification/intervention of complications.
