Social determinants of health and quality of life in children with chronic kidney disease: insights from Saudi Arabia.
Observational study in BMC nephrology, 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
backgroundSocial determinants of health (SDoH) are increasingly recognized as crucial factors affecting the well-being of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study explores the impact of SDoH on the quality of life (QoL) of children with CKD in Saudi Arabia.
methodsThis observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study included 50 participants with CKD stages three to five, as well as children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from children and their caregivers using a validated Arabic-adapted version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 and an SDoH survey.
resultsThe study revealed that access to education significantly affects pediatric QoL (H/Z score 2.825; P-value 0.005), and the lack of dietary recommendations was identified as a critical factor (H/Z score 1.441; P-value 0.029). ESRD patients on PD from larger families reported better QoL, whereas lower family income was associated with reduced QoL in PD patients (P-value 0.048). Compared to those in earlier stages of CKD, ESRD patients showed lower QoL (H/Z score 2.154; P-value 0.031).
conclusionOur study provides initial insights into the relationship between SDoH and the QoL of children with CKD in Saudi Arabia. It calls for a comprehensive approach that includes these determinants in care strategies to improve patient outcomes and QoL.
