Correlation between intradialytic blood pressure variability and cognitive impairment in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
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 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
backgroundThe relationship between intradialytic blood pressure variability (BPV) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients is currently unclear. Our present study aimed to illustrate the correlation between intra-dialysis BPV and CI in MHD patients.
methodsIntradialytic SBP within 3 months before cognitive assessment of the patients were collected as baseline data and averaged as final data. The intradialytic SBP was converted to the following 4 candidate short-term BPV indices: standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), average real variability (ARV), RANGE. Overall cognitive function was assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale.
resultsThe study finally enrolled 170 patients with 6662 dialysis records and 26,580 SBP measurements. The mean age of the patients was 57.99 years, the MCI prevalence was 78.24%. Intradialytic SBP ARV (average real variability) was notably higher in patients with MCI than in the non-MCI (NMCI) group (8.91 vs. 7.60, P = 0.042), but there was no statistical difference in the mean SBP and other BPV indices between the two groups. There was a non-linear relationship between SBP ARV and MCI, and the inflection point of SBP ARV was 7.52.
conclusionOur study found that high SBP ARV was closely associated with MCI, indicating that high SBP ARV may act as an indicator of MCI in MHD patients.
