Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in CKD-Associated Pruritus: A Systematic Review.
Review in Kidney medicine, 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
Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is a common and burdensome dermatologic condition in which patients can experience various symptoms. This study aimed to summarize and describe the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in CKD-aP studies over the past 5 years. A total of 99 studies were identified, which included 5 different PROs and 40 different PROMs. The most frequently evaluated PRO was pruritus (n = 99), followed by health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (n = 31), sleep disturbances (n = 12), psychiatric symptoms (n = 7), and other skin symptoms (n = 5). Among the 40 different PROMs, 19 were generic, 18 were skin-specific, and 3 were CKD-specific. The most commonly used PROMs in the PROs of pruritus, HRQoL, sleeping, and psychiatric symptoms were the visual analog scale (n = 47), dermatological life quality index (n = 8), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (n = 7), and Beck depression inventory (n = 3), respectively. The PROs and PROMs are common and effective tools for evaluating CKD-aP, but more high-quality studies and guidelines are needed to reach a clear consensus on their application.
