1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Water scarcity is an escalating global challenge with growing relevance for healthcare systems. Nephrology is particularly affected, as dialysis is a life-sustaining yet highly water-intensive therapy. Climate change, droughts, and infrastructure vulnerabilities increasingly threaten reliable water access, exposing the fragility of water-dependent kidney replacement therapies. Methods: We reviewed the available evidence and practical experience on water use in nephrology and dialysis care, with a focus on feasible strategies to reduce water consumption without compromising patient safety or quality of care. Results: We identify key domains of water use in dialysis and nephrology practice and present 10 practical, evidence-informed tips to reduce water consumption. These measures span system-level approaches, technological considerations, staff and patient engagement, behavioral change and are applicable across diverse resource settings. Conclusions: Integrating water stewardship into routine nephrology practice is essential to enhance the long-term resilience of dialysis services. Proactive water conservation represents a clinically relevant, ethical, and achievable component of sustainable kidney care.
