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
introductionEnd-stage kidney disease patients face a critical decision regarding kidney replacement therapy options, which include kidney transplantation, hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis (PD). This study aims to evaluate the impact of nurse-led education (NE) alone vs. NE combined with peer support on the patients' decision over PD treatment in chronic kidney disease patients.
methodsThe study was conducted between 2018 and 2020, and patients were prospectively followed for the years 2018-2020. A total of 238 patients were selected from 500 outpatient clinic patients based on inclusion criteria and the principle of voluntary participation. Among 238 patients, 112 patients who received NE plus peer support as well as NE. Generalized linear models (GLM) analysis was employed to investigate the influence of NE and NE plus peer support on the decision of PD by patients.
resultsIn the NE plus peer support group, 38% were aged 45-59, and 65% were male. Similarly, in the NE group, 38% were aged 45-59, and 60% were male. The study utilized GLM to analyze patients' decisions regarding the PD treatment. Model 1 examined the duration of NE plus peer support (Akaike Information Criterion [AIC] = 130.46, McFadden's pseudo-R-squared (ρ
conclusionsEducation provided by nurse and supported by peer affects patients' decision of kidney replacement treatment. Through the implementation of effective peer education, healthcare providers can enable patients to make informed decisions that align with their personal values, preferences, and treatment objectives, thereby enhancing clinical outcomes and overall patient satisfaction.
