Nurse's Perceptions and Roles in the Management of Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Pruritus: A Multicentre Survey Across Europe.
Article in Journal of renal care, 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
backgroundChronic kidney disease-associated pruritus is a debilitating condition affecting people on haemodialysis, and nephrology nurses have the potential to play a crucial role in its early identification and management.
objectivesTo investigate the nephrology nurses' perceptions and roles in the identification and management of chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus among people receiving haemodialysis.
designA survey-based, cross-sectional study was conducted by the European Dialysis Transplant Nurses Association/European Renal Care Association, using a structured questionnaire designed by the researchers and distributed online.
participantsNephrology nurses working in the haemodialysis field.
resultsA total of 286 questionnaire submissions were received from 15 European countries. The study sample comprised 48 male and 238 female nurses. The findings reveal that 71.9% of nurses participating in the study widely agreed that the people on haemodialysis under their care tend to withhold reporting symptoms of chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus. Nurses perceived that approximately 25% of their people on haemodialysis did not openly discuss their symptoms of pruritus with their care team. Most nurses (76.4%) reported being involved in recommending or prescribing treatments for chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus, with 71.4% specifically addressing treatments for itching. However, 35.5% of healthcare professionals do not fully recognise the link between pruritus and kidney disease.
conclusionThe study highlights the complex challenges nephrology nurses face in identifying and managing chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus. It emphasises the significant impact of pruritus on people's quality of life and the crucial role nurses can play in early detection and management.
