Increasing the adoption of home dialysis through improved advanced kidney care patient education: a call for action.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Home dialysis modalities have several advantages yet remain underused in Europe. A minority of people with kidney failure opt for home dialysis, although many more could be suitable. To improve home dialysis uptake, advanced kidney care patient education is essential. The aim was to examine the association of national guidelines for advanced kidney care patient education with home dialysis prevalence and incidence across Europe. Methods: This call for action followed a consensus meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, in June 2023. The participating professionals had extensive experience in advanced kidney care and home dialysis. We used data from the European Renal Association registry 2021 to examine the association of available national guidelines for advanced kidney care education with home dialysis prevalence and incidence in Europe. Results: In the European dialysis population, home dialysis prevalence is 10.5% and incidence is 13.3%. The organization of advanced kidney care and patient education differ. The availability of national guidelines for advanced kidney care patient education is associated with home dialysis uptake. The prevalence of home dialysis is significantly higher in countries with versus without national guidelines [20.9 versus 7.9%; odds ratio 1.398 (confidence interval 1.115-1.754), Conclusion: Home dialysis prevalence and incidence vary in Europe. The availability of national guidelines for advanced kidney care patient education for professionals is associated with a higher prevalence and incidence of home dialysis. Coordinated action is needed to support advanced kidney care patient education as part of nephrology care to improve kidney care, in order to ensure that the right patient is on the right modality and increase access to home dialysis.
