Through the Lens of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Qualitative Study of the Experiences of Young Women Living With CKD.
Article in Canadian journal of kidney health and disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundYoung women may be particularly vulnerable to the negative psychosocial consequences of living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To date, little is known about how women themselves experience and manage their illness.
objectivesThis study explored the experiences of young women living with CKD.
designQualitative descriptive study.
settingNephrology program in an urban setting in Ontario, Canada.
participantsWomen with category G1-3 glomerular-based CKD between 18 and 40 years of age.
methodsFocus group discussions guided by semi-structured interview questions. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze interview transcripts.
resultsEleven women participated in 3 separate focus group discussions. Participants described living life LIMITATIONS: Participants were from one nephrology program in an urban setting and were well educated overall. Their experiences may not be reflective of young women in other settings or from diverse backgrounds.
conclusionsThe women's emotional well-being and life choices were considerably influenced by CKD. Although the women were often able to manage challenges associated with CKD, they acknowledged the need to seek additional professional resources to complement their own self-identified strategies. As the women sought out these supports, they identified gaps in resources specific to women with CKD. This article summarizes recommendations from their perspective.
trial registrationNot applicable as this was a qualitative study.
