Symptom Clusters in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease Undergoing Hemodialysis.
Article in International journal of nephrology and renovascular disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundEnd-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis have to face many symptoms from disease progression and treatment. These symptoms cause suffering and affect physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual of the patients, resulting in decreased quality of life and might increase the death rate of these patients. Therefore, the study of symptoms in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis will lead to effective symptom management and maximize benefits for the patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the symptom clusters of ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe sample of this descriptive study consisted of 150 ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis from two dialysis centre of the university hospital and specialized kidney hospital in Bangkok. The instruments consisted of Personal Information Questionnaire (PIQ) and Dialysis Symptom Index-THAI (DSI-THAI). The data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis.
resultsThe 8 clusters of symptoms were found: 1) gastrointestinal, 2) musculoskeletal and fluid volume 3) neurological 4) irritation of the mucous membranes and skin 5) depression 6) sleep disturbance 7) sexual 8) anemic.
conclusionThe results of this study can be raised awareness and used as the information for the health-care provider to develop the intervention to manage unpleasant symptoms which lead to improving the quality of life.
