Aspects of quality of life through end-stage renal disease.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study was conducted to explore differentiated aspects of quality of life (QoL) throughout the course of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with special regard to kidney transplantation (KTX). In detail two questions were addressed: (1) does social support change over time? and (2) is psychological distress a predictor of generic and disease-specific QoL? Two groups of ESRD-patients were investigated twice with different psychodiagnostic inventories. At t0 the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and a validated German Social Support Questionnaire were administered. At t1 social support as well as generic and disease-specific QoL were investigated (SF-36, End-Stage Renal Disease Symptom Checklist-Transplantation Module [ESRD-SCL]). Group A consisted of 80 patients treated by dialysis while on the waiting list for transplantation when investigated at t0 and was followed after successful transplantation at t1. Group B consisted of 222 patients investigated twice after successful KTX. Groups A and B did not differ with respect to clinical data and comorbidity, except for stronger immunosuppression in transplanted patients of group A. Group A demonstrated a statistically significant (5% explanation of variance) increased satisfaction with social support after KTX, whereas group B reported a decrease. The psychological distress at t0 predicted QoL at t1 in both groups (2-13% explanation of variance of SF-36, ESRD-SCL-scores). High psychological distress on dialysis and after KTX is a predictor for low long-term QoL.
