Online and face-to-face education are effective to improve clinical competence regarding nutritional care in early chronic kidney disease.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAdequate clinical competence (CC) of dietitians for prevention and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) could have enormous importance to reduce the burden of end- stage kidney disease (ESKD). Unfortunately, this issue has been poorly analyzed, particularly in primary health-care. Online education offers advantages; however, its effect on CC remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of an online vs. face-to-face educative intervention on dietitians' clinical competence (CC) regarding nutritional care of early chronic kidney disease (CKD).
methodsDietitians were included in an online (N 51) or face-to-face group (N 23) to receive educational interventions developed by a multidisciplinary team, based on the constructivism paradigm and focused on nutritional aspects of prevention and management of early CKD. Content and duration (8 weeks) of both interventions were exactly the same. To evaluate CC, a validated questionnaire (120 points) was applied at the beginning and end of the study. Participation score (80 points) and satisfaction were evaluated.
resultsAge, gender, work experience, and previous training in end-stage kidney disease were similar and > 90% of participants completed the study in both groups. Comparing groups, participation scores were similar (p = 0.75): online 72.2 ± 4.6 points vs. face-to-face 74.1 ± 3.7 points. Baseline CC score was low in both groups: online 51 (41-65) points vs. face-to-face 49 (40-59) points, p = 0.60, but increased at the end of study: online group score increased 63% (26-91%, p < 0.0001) and face-to-face 74% (20-100%, p < 0.0001), without inter-group difference (p = 0.57).
