Policy strategies to enhance uptake of conservative kidney management in advanced chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundConservative kidney management (CKM) is an established treatment option for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease(CKD) who are not candidates for kidney replacement therapy(KRT). Despite its benefits, CKM uptake remains low. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of policy strategies designed to promote CKM uptake in advanced CKD patients.
methodsRelevant studies were identified through searches of Medline, Scopus, and CINAHL databases since 2000 through 24 July 2024. Observational studies or randomized controlled trials that assessed the efficacy of interventions aiming to increase CKM utilization or preference in patients with chronic kidney disease were eligible for this study. Pairwise meta-analysis using the inverse variance or DerSimonion and Laird method, was applied to estimate the efficacy of interventions across studies.
resultsSeven studies were included in this systematic review. Education and training interventions which provided knowledge about CKM to patients and their families, did not significantly increased preference for CKM among CKD patients, compared to no intervention with a pooled OR of 1.05 (95% CI: 0.62-1.76; I
conclusionOur findings suggest that educating patients and their families about CKM did not result in a statistically significant increase in CKM preference compared to no intervention. In contrast, interventions aimed at reforming healthcare services by implementing prognostication assessments into clinical practice might significantly increase CKM utilization. However, these conclusions are based on a limited number of observational studies, highlighting the need for further research to validate the effectiveness of these interventions.
