Correlates of symptom burden in renal dialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Renal failure, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundPatients receiving renal dialysis often experience a wide range of symptoms. These symptoms contribute to a significant symptom burden that significantly affects patients' quality of life and serves as a significant predictor of healthcare resource utilization and patient prognosis. It is necessary to synthesize existing evidence to draw reliable conclusions to deepen the understanding of symptom burden.
objectiveA systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to identify the relevant factors of symptom burden in patients receiving renal dialysis.
methodsThe systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by searching nine databases for studies reporting the correlates between symptom burden and demographic variables, disease factors, and psychosocial factors from inception to 24 June 2024. After two researchers independently conducted literature search, data extraction, and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was conducted using R Language and Stata 15.1 Software. This study has been registered in the PROSPERO.
resultsSixty-two studies were included in this review. Results showed that the symptom burden of renal dialysis patients was positively correlated with age, gender, working status, medical cost, dialysis age, quality of sleep, nutritional status, comorbidities, depression, anxiety, disease uncertain, avoidance coping and resignation coping, and negatively correlated with marital status, income, serum sodium, quality of life, social support, subjective well-being, and self-management ability.
conclusionsOur findings reveal that many factors, including demographic, disease-related, and psychosocial variables, affect symptom burden. The results can supply information for health promotion and relief symptom burden for patients receiving renal dialysis.
