1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 AND

aimsMultimorbidity is becoming the norm rather than the exception, especially among the ageing population and people with lower socio-economic status. In addition to the rising healthcare cost, multimorbidity poses considerable difficulty in the delivery of adequate holistic care for affected patients.

methodsThis review presents a discussion of the current barriers to delivering holistic care to people with multimorbidity and proposes a model of clinical care for people living with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome as an exemplar of a multimorbidity cluster.

resultsSingle organ/disease services may not be able to provide optimum care to people with multimorbidity due to the potential complex interactions between multiple disease symptoms and management. In addition, people with multimorbidity may be required to attend multiple appointments in different healthcare centres. This may negatively impact access to services due to time and financial burden. Other barriers include co-ordinating communication between healthcare professionals and reduced continuity of care. Optimising CKM health requires patient-centred care led by an interdisciplinary care team who ideally should possess CKM competencies utilising a shared care protocol to coordinate evidence-based care and use of telehealth to empower patients. Stakeholders and policymakers need to adapt new policy models to establish and enhance CKM care models by allocating funds and implementing frameworks for educational reforms.

conclusionsA CKM service has the potential to increase the uptake of cardiac and renal protective medications as well as optimising metabolic care, increase capacity in both primary and secondary care, improve quality of life and clinical outcomes, reduce patient inconvenience, and importantly allow rapid translation of advances in cardiorenal metabolic diseases into clinical practice.
