Quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis: A mixed methods approach.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the biggest public health issue, the tide of which continues to inexorably rise. Hemodialysis (HD) is the treatment of choice that can help them to expand their lifespan and can lead to major changes in the quality of life (QOL). Materials & Methods: A mixed method study using concurrent convergent design (QUAL + QUAN) was conducted at Ambala, India, among 32 patients with CKD undergoing HD. The tools used for the study were "KDQOL-SF™ version 1.3" and a semistructured open-ended interview guide. Results: The QOL of HD patients was more affected in physical component summary (PCS) followed by mental component summary and kidney disease component summary, respectively. A significant relationship was found among the different areas of QOL. Conclusion: QOL of patients with CKD undergoing HD is highly affected in PCS. A change in any area of QOL positively influences the QOL in other area. Physical, psychological, and social changes can affect the QOL of HD patients.
