Pregnancy in chronic hemodialysis in a resource-limited country: case report and literature review.
Review in BMC 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
backgroundConception in hemodialysis is a rare event with an incidence of 0.5-1.4% of women of childbearing age, and associated with a high maternal-fetal risk. We report a case of full-term pregnancy with live child that occurred in our hemodialysis center at Kayes Hospital in Mali. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was 38 years old and had been on chronic hemodialysis for 4 years for hypertensive nephropathy. She was dialyzed twice a week for 8 h. We discovered a pregnancy of 17 weeks' amenorrhea (WA) in a context of acute pelvic pain. Hemodialysis was immediately intensified to 3 times/week for 4 h 30 min until 32 weeks' amenorrhea, then 4 times/week for 4 h 30 min until term. Thanks to blood pressure control, dry weight control and hemoglobin control at around 12 g/dl on erythropoietin, the pregnancy was carried to 36 SA + 6 days, with vaginal delivery resulting in a live infant weighing 2800 g. The newborn's renal function at 24 and 48 h was normal, with a mean hemoglobin level of 17 g/dl.
conclusionPregnancy in chronic hemodialysis is a very high-risk maternal and fetal condition. This first observation in Mali shows that procreation is possible for hemodialysis recipients despite limited resources. Multidisciplinary management, combined with blood pressure control, intensification of hemodialysis and correction of anemia, guarantee the best results.
