Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring During 52 Hours in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Haemodialysis Treatment-An Exploratory Pilot Study.
Observational study in Journal of renal care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundHypertension in patients with haemodialysis is mainly characterised by high pre-dialysis blood pressure (BP) due to body fluid retention before dialysis, and the BP tends to decrease after dialysis due to removal of water during dialysis. Intervals between haemodialysis treatments vary and a long inter-dialytic interval dialysis is associated with increased mortality.
objectiveTo examine variations in BP; how ambulatory BP vary during a dialysis treatment performed after the long inter-dialytic interval, that is, the first treatment of the week, compared to dialysis after a short inter-dialytic interval, and in the interval between the two dialysis sessions.
designExploratory non-interventional observational.
participantsEleven patients with chronic kidney disease Stage 5 treated with haemodialysis were enroled. The mean age was 69 years (range 48-87) and mean dialysis duration 65 months (range 4-128). MEASUREMENTS: Ambulatory BP was recorded for 52 h including two haemodialysis treatments and one inter-dialytic interval. For statistical analyses the Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used.
resultsSignificant differences in systolic and diastolic BPs were observed between dialyses after long inter-dialytic interval and short inter-dialytic interval, respectively (systolic 122 mmHg vs. 114 mmHg, p = 0.012 and diastolic 62 mmHg vs. 61 mmHg, p = 0.036). In addition, the BP declined during the first 90 min during dialysis in both settings.
conclusionsMeasuring ambulatory BP for 52 h in patient with chronic kidney disease and haemodialysis is feasible and show that both systolic and diastolic BP differ between dialysis treatments following inter-dialytic intervals of diverse length. These findings should be replicated in larger studies.
