Differences in employment and lifestyle situations between kidney transplant recipients and patients on hemodialysis: a nationwide questionnaire survey in Japan.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundKidney transplant recipients are reported to have more opportunities for employment compared with patients on hemodialysis. However, comparisons of employment and lifestyle situations between kidney transplant recipients and patients on hemodialysis in Japan are lacking.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted via a questionnaire survey in October and November 2023. The questionnaire covered patients' background, hospital visits, self-management, social assistance, and employment. Participants were members of the Japan Transplant Recipients Organization. We compared these participants with data from a survey of patients on hemodialysis conducted in September 2021 by the Japan Association of Dialysis Physicians.
resultsResponses from 146 kidney transplant recipients were analyzed and compared with data for 7461 patients on hemodialysis. The overall employment rate for kidney transplant recipients was 41.0%, and was higher than that among patients on hemodialysis. Of the employed kidney transplant recipients, 67.8% worked at least 5 days per week, 45.8% had an annual income of more than 3 million yen, and 42.4% were in regular employment. The majority (78.7%) of kidney transplant recipients could visit hospital by themselves, with this proportion significantly higher than that among patients on hemodialysis. Substantially fewer kidney transplant recipients had been briefed by their hospital on disaster preparedness than patients on hemodialysis (20.4% vs. 53.2%).
conclusionsWe evaluated current employment status among kidney transplant recipients in Japan through a questionnaire survey. Compatibility with work among kidney transplant recipients was relatively favorable compared with that among those on hemodialysis.
