Assessment of nutritional status and quality of life among hemodialysis patients in Aswan.
Article 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
backgroundMalnutrition is prevalent in patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD). It adversely affects the prognosis and is linked to elevated morbidities, mortalities as well as diminished quality of life (QOL). This study attempted to assess the nutritional status and QOL among HD cases. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed at Aswan University Hospital (Aswan, Egypt) in the interval from December 2022 until December 2023. The study included 150 patients on regular HD. All patients underwent comprehensive examinations, including a complete medical history of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), marital status, occupation, education, duration of dialysis, number of sessions per week. Investigations included complete blood count, urea, creatinine, total iron binding capacity, ferritin, albumin, cholesterol and triglyceride. The nutritional state was evaluated using the Subjective Global Assessment score (SGA) and QOL was assessed utilizing the 12-item Short Form Survey (SF-12).
resultsThe mean ± SD of patient's age was 48.69 ± 14.04 years. Subjects comprised 70 (46.67%) males and 80 (53.33%) females. The mean ± SD of their BMI was 22.05 ± 5.27 kg/m
conclusionMalnutrition is prevalent among hemodialysis patients in Aswan, particularly in individuals receiving long-term hemodialysis. The majority of patients exhibited mild to moderate malnutrition, whereas severe malnutrition was infrequent. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
