Clinical outcomes of peritoneal dialysis in Southeast Asia: a scoping review protocol with a focused North American comparator.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionPeritoneal dialysis (PD) is delivered across diverse health-system contexts. In Southeast Asia (SEA), PD has been promoted to expand kidney replacement therapy access where haemodialysis capacity, geography and resources constrain care. This protocol describes a scoping review focused on reported PD clinical outcomes in SEA, with North America used only as a prespecified external comparator rather than as a control group, global benchmark or proxy for best practice. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will follow Joanna Briggs Institute guidance and will be reported using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). PRISMA Protocols (PRISMA-P) items are addressed where applicable. The review will be conducted from 1 May 2026 to 31 October 2026. Searches will identify sources published from 1 January 2000 to the planned final search date of 31 July 2026. MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Global Index Medicus, Google Scholar, citation searching and selected registry, professional, governmental and conference sources will be searched. No language restriction will be applied at the search stage. Eligible evidence will include peer-reviewed studies, registry or professional reports, governmental or institutional reports and conference abstracts or posters with extractable PD outcome data. Non-English sources will be screened using machine translation and extracted using targeted translation of relevant sections when feasible. Outcomes of interest include patient survival, technique survival and transition to haemodialysis, peritonitis and other infectious complications, hospitalisation and health service utilisation, cardiovascular outcomes, catheter-related complications and patient-reported outcomes when reported as clinical endpoints. Findings will be summarised descriptively and mapped by outcome domain and by region, with contextual factors noted when reported. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required because this review will synthesise published literature only. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations, and the extracted dataset and search strategies will be shared in supplementary materials or an online repository, subject to journal policy.
