Factors associated with poor self-rated health among chronic kidney disease patients and their health care utilization: Insights from LASI wave-1, 2017-18.
Article in Frontiers in nephrology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), associated with other chronic conditions affects the physical, behavioral, and psychological aspects of an individual, leading to poor self-rated health. Hence, we aimed to assess the factors associated with poor self-rated health (SRH) in CKD patients. Additionally, we assessed their health care utilization. Methods: This is an observational study consisting of 527 CKD patients from Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI), 2017-2018. A descriptive statistic computed prevalence. Regression analysis assessed the association between poor SRH and socio-demographic variables presented as adjusted odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95%. Health care utilization among CKD patients was graphically presented. Results: Around 64% of CKD patients had poor SRH. Aged 75 years and above (AOR=1.8, 95% CI= 0.5-6.8), rural residents (AOR= AOR 1.8, 95% CI =1.0 -3.1) and those with other chronic conditions (AOR=5.1, 95% CI= 2.3-11.0) were associated with poor SRH. Overall 79% of the CKD patients availed health care facility, most (44.8%) of those visit private facility. Conclusion: We observed older adults, females, rural residents, and having other chronic conditions were associated with poor SRH among CKD patients which highlights the need for equitable and strengthened health care system. There is an urgent need to provide accessible, affordable and quality healthcare services for these individuals so as to maintain continuity of care.
