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

backgroundFirst Nations People receive clinical care by renal staff who may or may not have had access to cultural education. If they have, what this education involves and if it has been co-designed with First Nations People is unknown.

objectiveConduct a scoping review to examine the range and types of cultural education provided to clinical and professional (nonclinical) renal staff caring for First Nations People in Australia and similarly other colonized countries {Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ), Canada, and North America}.

designUsing the JBI methodology for scoping reviews a systematic search of 11 database (Australian Indigenous Health InfoNet, Scopus, APAIS-ATSIS (Informit), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase (Ovid), Medline (Ovid), Health & Medical Collection (Proquest), Nursing & Allied Health Database (Proquest), Psychology Database (Proquest), Public Health Database (Proquest), and Sociology Database (Proquest) was undertaken. The search included studies published in English from January 1992 to September 2024.

resultsNineteen papers met the scoping review criteria identifying multiple barriers and effective staff cultural education in renal settings. Sixteen papers were from Australia. Only three papers undertook both cultural education and evaluation. Cultural safety emerged as an education and clinical approach increasingly used internationally to inform positive effects on both care recipients (First Nations People with kidney disease) and staff participants.

conclusionThere is limited published literature regarding renal-specific cultural education for kidney care staff working with First Nations People. The extent to which First Nations recipients of care have been involved and education effectiveness evaluated is not evident.
