Assessing patient satisfaction with hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis care and associated factors in Iran.

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
purposeWith the increasing demand for dialysis, there is a growing emphasis on patient-centered care. This study investigated patients' satisfaction levels with peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) care in Iran.
methodsA cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted among 346 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) covered by the Iran Health Insurance Organization who received dialysis services from October to December 2022 across the country. Data were gathered using a self-made questionnaire through telephone interviews. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, t tests, ANOVA, and linear logistic regression using R software.
resultsPatients reported high satisfaction with doctors and nurses, health care facilities, and costs. PD patients had higher overall satisfaction (P < 0.001) and were more satisfied with costs (P < 0.001), while HD patients reported greater satisfaction with doctor and nurse behavior (P = 0.012). Significant factors associated with satisfaction included marital status (P = 0.012), insurance coverage duration (P = 0.027), dialysis type (P < 0.001), and time to dialysis initiation (P = 0.027). Doctor and nurse behavior had the greatest impact on satisfaction (P < 0.001).
conclusionWhile patients were generally satisfied with the care provided, the findings revealed areas for improvement, particularly regarding the availability of medical centers and costs among dialysis patients. Focusing on patient education, communication, and supportive insurance policies has the potential to significantly enhance patient satisfaction and improve quality of life for dialysis patients.
