Facility-based educational systems and peritonitis incidence in peritoneal dialysis: findings from a nationwide survey in Japan.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2026. 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
backgroundThere have been no clear recommendations regarding the optimal timing, setting, content, and duration for peritoneal dialysis (PD) education. This nationwide survey aimed to examine current PD educational practices across Japanese facilities and explore factors associated with the incidence of PD-related peritonitis.
methodsEligible facilities were institutional members of the Japanese Society for Peritoneal Dialysis. The questionnaire consisted of five sections covering facility characteristics, facility-level peritonitis profiles, PD education, peritonitis prophylaxis, and re-education. Associations between PD practices and the incidence of PD-related peritonitis were examined using linear and logistic regression analyses.
resultsA total of 194 facilities were included between November 2024 and May 2025. The median peritonitis incidence rates in 2023 and 2024 were 0.18 and 0.20 episodes/patient-year, respectively. Regression analyses showed that an annual training frequency of two or more sessions for education staff, earlier initiation of PD education (before catheter insertion vs. around PD initiation), more frequent visits during the first month after PD initiation (once every 1-2 weeks vs. once every 3-4 weeks), and routine patient re-education were associated with lower incidence of peritonitis or higher achievement of the target incidence rate of < 0.4 episodes/patient-year.
conclusionsRegular training for patient educators, early initiation of patient education before catheter insertion, and follow-up with re-education after PD initiation were associated with lower rates of PD-related peritonitis.
