Palliative care needs and symptom burden in younger and older patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: A cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05837988 (Construction of Symptom Network in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the current situation of palliative care needs and the symptom burden in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), and to explore whether there are differences between younger and older patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the hemodialysis centers of two tertiary hospitals from November 2021 to June 2022. Participants were selected by convenience sampling. Socio-demographics, clinical characteristics, the Palliative Care Outcome Scale (POS), the Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI), and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-3L) were used for evaluation. Descriptive statistics, between-group comparisons, and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 236 patients were enrolled, including 118 younger and 118 older patients. The total median ( Conclusions: The results showed that patients with ESRD undergoing MHD have a significant symptom burden and moderate palliative care needs, which are more severe in older patients. Therefore, interdisciplinary teams should be formed to actively manage patients' symptoms and meet the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs related to palliative care to improve patients' HRQOL.
