Development and validation of a measure to assess patient experience of needling of arteriovenous fistulas or grafts for haemodialysis access: the NPREM.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 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
Background: Needling is a key step in haemodialysis. Research suggests that needling experience is sub-optimal; however, no validated measure exists to inform improvements. We addressed this by developing the Needling Patient Reported Experience Measure (NPREM). Methods: We used mixed methods and co-production. All participants were adults with working fistulas/grafts from eight UK kidney centres. Phase 1 involved developing concepts and items: in interviews ( Conclusion: The NPREM measures patient experience of needling for haemodialysis. It offers kidney services a means of assessing needling experience, informing patient-focused clinical and service improvements.
