Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07377500 (Randomised Controlled Trial of Dialysate Cooling for the Preservation of Cognitive Function in People Receiving Haemodialysis), which is not on this map.

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

As the number of patients with hemodialysis (HD) continues to increase, so too does the number of people depending on caregivers. There is need to pay attention to the lives of caregivers of patients with HD, where sacrifices are forced. This study systematically reviewed and synthesized qualitative studies that explored the experiences of caregivers caring for patients with HD using the meta-synthesis method. We searched literature using four databases (i.e., PubMed, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science), and finally ten publications were selected. Four themes and nine subtopics were derived from analyzing and synthesizing the research results. The synthesized themes were: "bearing the burden of life as a caregiver," "reconstructing life to maintain hemodialysis", "the fading of caregiver's own life," and "effort to relieve the burden." The results of this study can contribute to the development of interventional studies to improve the quality of life of HD patients. These studies provide an integrated and in-depth perspective on the experiences of caregivers who care for HD patients.
