The incidence of inflow and drain pain and associated risk factors for patients on peritoneal dialysis.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe high prevalence and prolonged duration of inflow pain and drain pain experienced by peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients following PD catheter implantation impact their quality of life. However, there is limited data on the frequency and predisposing factors of these pains in the Chinese population undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
methodsThis study encompassed individuals who underwent peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation at our institution from September 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. Patients' experiences of inflow pain and drain pain were evaluated using a questionnaire survey and the visual analog scale (VAS), with pain status followed up via telephone for 3 months post-surgery.
resultsA total of 141 patients were included in this study. Inflow pain occurred at rates of 56.0%, 20.9%, 16.9%, and 17.3% at 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, and 3-month postoperatively, respectively, while drain pain rates were 51.8%, 24.3%, 22.3%, and 19.5% for the same period. Slowing down the infusion rate of dialysate (57.0%) or stopping its drainage (60.3%) proved effective in reducing pain. Logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR = 0.96, P = 0.02), gender (OR = 0.37, P = 0.03), and the method of PD catheter implantation (OR = 2.37, P = 0.04) were independent factors associated with inflow or drain pain within 1-week postoperatively.
conclusionThe occurrence of inflow pain and drain pain following peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation is notable. Age, gender, and the method of catheter implantation were identified as independent factors influencing the incidence of inflow or drain pain within the first postoperative week.
