Exploring interventions to support life participation for adults with chronic kidney disease: a scoping review.
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 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
backgroundIndividuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can experience significant health-related challenges that affect their life participation. Recent studies have identified life participation as a top priority for adults with CKD. This scoping review aims to comprehensively identify studies of interventions that targeted life participation outcomes in adults with predialysis CKD, and identify gaps in the literature.
methodsThis scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. Five electronic databases were searched with additional sources identified through backwards chaining. Title and abstract screening were conducted independently by four screeners after initial inter-rater calibration, and full text screening and data extraction were undertaken by two researchers in duplicate. Data analysis was completed using descriptive statistics and narrative synthesis.
resultsThis scoping review identified twenty-three studies that examined interventions to support life participation in the CKD population. No studies targeted life participation as a primary outcome. When categorizing studies via the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) the majority (87%) of interventions targeted personal-physical mechanisms of disability, with a predominant focus on pharmacological (48%) or exercise (35%) interventions. Dedicated outcome measures for life participation were rarely used, with the role-physical, role-emotional and social functioning subscales of the SF-36 quality of life assessment being the most common life participation outcome measures.
conclusionsThis scoping review highlights a lack of research and prioritization of life participation in CKD. It demonstrates the narrow scope of intervention approaches used to support life participation, and limitations in how studies assess life participation. These gaps indicate a need for further research to support this top priority health outcome for the CKD community. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: As this is a scoping review, no clinical trial number is provided.
