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
Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction of a new nurse practitioner chronic kidney disease (CKD) clinic. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of all patients who had their first appointment with the early CKD nurse practitioner from October 2023 to October 2024, with data extracted on 1 April 2025. The outcomes were assessed across three domains: (domain 1) change in clinical outcomes of kidney function, albuminuria and blood pressure, (domain 2) prescription of guidelines concordant medications and (domain 3) patient satisfaction with care as assessed by a survey. Results: There were 95 patients with a median age of 63 years [interquartile interval (IQI) 51-76], and 45.3% were female. Cardio-metabolic comorbidity was common; 82.8% of patients had hypertension, 55.6% diabetes and 25.2% cardiovascular disease. At referral the median urine albumin-creatinine ratio was 32.3 mg/mmol (IQI 11.2-53.5) and this was lower at discharge, 12.4 mg/mmol (IQI 2.9-25.3, Conclusion: The CKD nurse practitioner clinic was effective at implementing guideline-directed medical therapies for early CKD and associated with improvements in blood pressure and albuminuria.
