Kidney Beam-A Cost-Effective Digital Intervention to Improve Mental Health.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04872933 (Multicentre Prospective Single-blind Wait-list Randomised Controlled Trial, With Nested Pilot, of the Clinical Value and Economic Evaluation of an Online Physical and Emotional Wellbeing Resource for the Improvement of Health-related Quality of Life in People With Chronic Kidney Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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
Introduction: There is inequity in the provision of physical rehabilitation services for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The Kidney BEAM trial evaluated the clinical value and cost effectiveness of a physical activity digital health intervention (DHI) in CKD. Methods: In a single-blind, 11 center, randomized controlled trial, 340 adult participants with CKD were randomly assigned to either the Kidney BEAM physical activity DHI or a waitlist control. This study assessed the difference in the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form 1.3 Mental Component Summary (KDQoL-SF1.3 MCS) between intervention and control groups at 6-months, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Results: At 6-months, there was a significant difference in mean adjusted change in KDQoL MCS score between Kidney BEAM and waitlist control (intention-to-treat adjusted mean: 5.9 [95% confidence interval, CI: 4.4-7.5] arbitrary units [AU], Conclusion: The Kidney BEAM physical activity DHI is a clinically valuable and cost-effective means to improve mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people with CKD (trial registration no. NCT04872933).
