Patient Knowledge, Adherence to the Therapeutic Regimen, and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis : Knowledge, Adherence, and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2021. 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
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of patients' knowledge on adherence to the hemodialysis regimen and Quality of Life (QoL) of patients undergoing hemodialysis as well as the effect of adherence on QoL. Also, the effect of demographic and clinical characteristics on the above three variables was studied. In this cross-sectional study conducted between March and May 2017, 321 patients on hemodialysis from six hemodialysis units completed the Kidney Disease Questionnaire, the GR-Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire and the Missoula Vitas Quality of Life Index-15 to measure the patient knowledge, the adherence to hemodialysis regimen, and the QoL, respectively. The statistical analysis was performed via the Statistical Program SPSS 19.0. The statistical significance level was set up at 0.05. The knowledge was independently associated with the overall QoL and its dimension-transcendence-with total adherence and its dimension-diet/fluid adherence. The total adherence was independently associated with overall QoL and its dimensions-symptoms and interpersonal. The educational level, the type of vascular access, and the daily number of pills were independently associated with the total adherence and the overall QoL. Patient knowledge may have an important effect on adherence and QoL. Adherence may have an important effect on QoL. Demographic and clinical characteristics play, also, a crucial role in the above variables. The findings can help nephrology nurses to quantify the extent of non-adherence in hemodialysis and poor quality of life.
