Innovations in Hemodialysis Care: An Evaluation of Quality and the Patient Experience.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hemodialysis (HD) performed in a tertiary care facility is the most prevalent and costly treatment for end-stage renal disease in Canada. This life-sustaining treatment is usually performed thrice weekly in an in-center facility. When people on HD also require a rehabilitation/complex care inpatient program, the burden of transportation for dialysis is immense to both the patient and health-care system. To improve the patient experience, create efficiency, and reduce travel costs, the renal team and a team from a rehabilitation/complex care center collaborated to provide HD services in the rehab/complex care setting. A patient/family representative was involved in all aspects of the design through to evaluation of this project. This study used realistic evaluation to examine the efficacy of this program from the perspective of the patient experience, HD staff, rehab/complex care staff and costs. The decreased travel with having dialysis on-site and adequate resources in the HD unit were the mechanisms for success in improved patient experience, quality of life and rehabilitation patient outcomes, decreased costs as well as increased communication and satisfaction.
