Why are we Not Getting More Patients onto Peritoneal Dialysis? Observations From the United States with Global Implications.
Review in Kidney international reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) offers lifestyle advantages over in-center hemodialysis (HD) and is less costly. However, in the United States, less than 12% of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients are maintained on this modality. In this brief review, we discuss some of the factors underlying the low prevalence of PD. These include inadequate patient education, a shortage of sufficiently well-trained medical and nursing personnel, absence of infrastructure to support urgent start PD, and lack of support for assisted PD, among other factors. Understanding and addressing these various issues may help increase the prevalence of PD in the United States and globally.
