Fatigue across different chronic kidney disease populations: experiences and needs of patients.
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 5 papers.
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: Fatigue is a common symptom of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Predominantly qualitative research among dialysis patients has contributed to our knowledge about CKD patients' fatigue experiences and perceptions. This nationwide survey study aimed to explore in different CKD populations: (i) patients' experienced fatigue burden, its impact on daily life, and presumed causes of fatigue; and (ii) patients' experiences and needs regarding support, discussion, and treatment of fatigue. Methods: A survey assessing patients' fatigue experiences and needs was constructed in co-creation with the Dutch Kidney Patients Association. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize results and stratified by CKD populations [CKD without kidney replacement therapy (KRT), receiving dialysis, after kidney transplantation (KTx)], gender, and age. Results: A high fatigue burden was found across all CKD populations ( Conclusion: High fatigue burdens and insufficient support are experienced across all CKD populations, gender, and age groups. To address patients' unfulfilled needs, it is important to structurally measure and discuss fatigue in routine nephrology care, strengthen social support, and provide patient-centred multidisciplinary symptom management.
