Comparison of longitudinal quality of life outcomes in preemptive and dialyzed patients on waiting list for kidney transplantation.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeThe waiting list period for kidney transplantation can be lengthy and associated with a deteriorated health-related quality of life (HRQoL). It might also be experienced differently depending on the experience of renal replacement therapy (preemptive or dialyzed patients), and the type of dialysis. The main objective of this study is to measure and compare HRQoL changes in preemptive, hemodialysis (HD), and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients during the waiting list period for kidney transplantation.
methodsA sample of adult patients on kidney transplant waiting list from three French University Hospital centers was recruited. HRQoL was measured using the SF-36 and a specific questionnaire (ReTransQol), which were collected every 6 months before transplantation in preemptive, HD, and PD patients. Mixed-effects models taking into account time and possible confounding factors were used to compare HRQoL changes between the three groups.
resultsPreemptive (n = 230), HD (n = 177), and PD patients (n = 39) were enrolled. The renal replacement therapy modalities, time (time on waiting list and age at registration), and gender were associated with HRQoL changes. The HD and PD patients had a significantly lower perceived HRQoL on Role Physical, Social Functioning, and Role Emotional dimensions than the preemptive patients, with lower scores for PD compared to HD patients. The HRQoL scores of all patients were lower compared to the French general population for all dimensions.
conclusionsA better understanding of pre-transplantation patients' experience can help improving patient care with adapted educational programs and psychological support depending on the type of renal replacement therapy.
