Shared decision making and decision aids in the management of kidney disease and renal replacement treatment options.
Review in Current opinion in nephrology and hypertension, 2026. 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
purpose of reviewTo examine recent developments in shared decision making (SDM) interventions for advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Given the complexity of treatment decisions and low patient engagement despite available options, SDM is a critical approach to improve treatment initiation and engagement. RECENT
findingsThree recent SDM interventions were identified: DART (Decision-Aid for Renal Therapy), a decision support patient-centered video tool for older patients with stages 4-5 CKD that significantly reduced decisional conflict and improved treatment knowledge; YoDCA (Yorkshire Dialysis and Conservative Care Aid), a 28-page patient-centered decision support tool supporting dialysis versus conservative management decisions; and SIMPLIFY-HD (Stroke-Prevention Strategies in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis), an encounter-based decision aid for patient-provider use. These interventions demonstrated improved decision quality, reduced decisional conflict, and enhanced patient knowledge. SUMMARY: While recent advances show promise for enhancing patient knowledge and decision-making among older adults with kidney disease, significant gaps remain. Limited real-world testing, narrow focus on older populations with late-stage disease, and insufficient integration of multimorbidity present implementation challenges. Future research should prioritize rigorous randomized controlled trials, broader patient inclusion, multimorbidity integration, clinician training, and assessment of long-term clinical outcomes to achieve patient-centered kidney care.
