Impact of frequent intradialytic hypotension on quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIntradialytic hypotension (IDH) is frequently accompanied by symptoms of nausea, dizziness, fatigue, muscle spasm, and arrhythmia, which can adversely impact the daily lives of patients who undergo hemodialysis and may lead to decreased quality of life (QoL). This study employed the KDQOL™-36 scale to evaluate the impact of frequent IDH, based on the definition determined by predialysis blood pressure (BP) and nadir systolic blood pressure (SBP) thresholds, on the QoL of patients.
methodsThis is a single center retrospective cohort study involving 160 hemodialysis patients. We enrolled adult patients with uremia who received routine hemodialysis (4 h/time, 3 times/week) from October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2021. Frequent IDH was defined as an absolute nadir SBP < 90 mmHg occurring in no less than 30% of hemodialysis sessions when predialysis SBP < 159 mmHg (or < 100 mmHg when predialysis BP ≥ 160 mmHg).The differences between patients with and without frequent IDH were compared using the independent t test, Kruskal‒Wallis test, or chi-square test. The primary visit was at month 36, and the remaining visits were exploratory outcomes.
resultsCompared to patients with infrequent IDH at baseline, those with frequent IDH had significantly lower scores on the symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease dimension at all follow-up points (P < 0.05). The symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease dimension were worse in patients with frequent IDH. Those with frequent IDH had a significantly poorer QoL regarding the dimensions of symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease and the impact of kidney disease on life.
conclusionsThe findings of the study suggest an association between frequent IDH and QoL dimensions of symptoms and discomfort of kidney disease and the impact of kidney disease on life dimension under the definition of frequent IDH.
