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

Home hemodialysis (HHD) is associated with greater patient autonomy and treatment satisfaction compared with in-center kidney replacement modalities, yet the level of HHD use is low, particularly in the East Asian region. Reasons for limited HHD use are a strong in-center hemodialysis (ICHD) culture, hospital-based infrastructure, regulatory barriers, limited knowledge among dialysis clinicians, home resource requirements, and patient-related fears regarding self-management. To redress the low HHD uptake in East Asia, a 1-day Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) workshop of key nephrology stakeholders, nephrologists, nurses, and individuals receiving HHD from East Asia was held in September 2025 in Kawagoe, Japan. The goals were to create a strategic framework and a roadmap for expanding HHD in key East Asian countries. This report details the workshop content and provides a roadmap for stakeholders to move forward, with the aim to increase the therapeutic options for people with kidney failure.
