Adequacy of haemodialysis and associated factors among patients with end-stage kidney disease in Tanzania.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Adequate haemodialysis helps maintain normal renal function by removing toxins and other waste products in patients with end-stage kidney disease. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence and predictors of adequacy of haemodialysis and outcomes in patients with end-stage kidney disease. Methods: This longitudinal analytical hospital-based study was conducted at two dialysis centres in Dodoma city, Tanzania, between February and July of 2020. Adequacy of haemodialysis was measured with single-pool (sp) Kt/V and urea reduction rate (URR) formulae. Binary logistic regression and multivariable analysis were used to assess the independent predictors of adequacy of haemodialysis. Results: The analysis included 100 patients with a mean age of 50.6 Conclusion: This study indicated a high percentage of adequacy of haemodialysis among patients with end-stage kidney disease. Having fewer than three dialysis sessions per week, late initiation of dialysis after diagnosis of end-stage kidney disease and severe anaemia were predictors of inadequate haemodialysis among patients.
