1 · What the graph read from 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.

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.

Abstract

introductionMultiple symptoms occur in people with kidney failure receiving haemodialysis (HD) and these symptoms have a negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Fatigue, the most common symptom, is debilitating and difficult to manage. Educational interventions involving energy conservation strategies are helpful in reducing fatigue, however the effectiveness of energy conservation has not been previously studied in those receiving HD. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an energy conservation education intervention for people with end-stage kidney disease receiving HD (EVEREST trial). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A pragmatic cluster randomised control trial with repeated measure will be used. One hundred and twenty-six participants from tertiary level dialysis centre will be cluster randomised to the intervention and control group according to HD treatment day. The intervention group will receive usual care along with a structured energy conservation education programme over 12 weeks comprising three individual face-to-face educational intervention sessions, one booster session and a booklet. The control group will receive usual care from their healthcare providers and a booklet at the end of the study. The primary outcome is fatigue, and the secondary outcomes are other Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) symptoms, occupational performance and HRQoL. Intention-to-treat analysis will occur and will include a change in primary and secondary outcomes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been obtained from the Human Research Committee of the Griffith University and Nepal Health Research Council. The results of this research will be published and presented in a variety of forums. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04360408.
