Active experiences in volume management among peritoneal dialysis patients with long duration: A qualitative study.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 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
Objective: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the main renal replacement therapies for patients with end-stage renal disease, but many PD patients still experience significant volume overload (VO). Currently, there is a lack of research on VO in PD patients specifically focusing on the unique group of long duration PD patients. No studies have yet examined the impact of long dialysis vintage on VO from the perspective of research subjects. This study conducted in-depth interviews with long duration PD patients to explore their positive experiences in volume management. Methods: Using purposive sampling, 10 long duration PD patients from a nephrology department at a tertiary hospital in Baoding City, China, from September, 2024 to October 2024 were selected as interview subjects in this retrospective study. The phenomenological approach in qualitative research was employed, conducting semi-structured in-depth interviews with these patients using the "knowledge-attitude-practice" theoretical framework and incorporating a literature-designed interview guide. Results: Among the 10 interviewees, there were four males and six females aged 35 to 64 years. Data analysis extracted four main themes: illness perception, positive attitude, excellent compliance, and social support. Conclusion: The volume management in long duration PD patients was influenced by multiple factors. This study identified themes of illness perception, positive attitude, excellent adherence, and social support. The results may guide clinical healthcare professionals in helping PD patients actively address VO and implement targeted interventions to improve their quality of life.
