Economic and environmental impacts of a resource-saving committee in a Japanese hemodialysis clinic: a case study.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 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
Dialysis therapy is a resource-intensive treatment for end-stage kidney disease that remains highly dependent on in-center hemodialysis in Japan. From both economic and environmental perspectives, it is necessary to reduce energy consumption and resource use, and minimize waste generation to achieve sustainable kidney healthcare. The clinic targeted in this study provides hemodialysis in a regional city and launched a resource-saving committee in 2008 to implement initiatives, appoint green champions, and monitor four environmental items (electricity, gas and water consumption, and waste generation) and financial effects. To retrospectively evaluate environmental impact, we calculated the carbon footprint. The median monthly consumption of electricity, gas, and water per hemodialysis patient was approximately 353 kWh, 17 m
