Self-Care Behaviors in Patients Receiving Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review of Recent Evidence.
Review in International journal of preventive 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
Background: Patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) often face significant lifestyle adjustments upon commencing regular hemodialysis. Emphasizing self-care becomes crucial to enhance longevity and diminish hospitalization rates. This study aimed to scrutinize the nature and impact of self-care practices among individuals undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Methods: A systematic review search was conducted, utilizing five databases, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane. The search was limited to the years 2010-2024. Studies were deemed eligible for inclusion if published in English and evaluated the self-care behaviors of patients receiving hemodialysis. Results: Through meticulous searching, 716 articles were identified. After thorough screening, 32 studies aligned with the criteria and were included in the final analysis. The articles encompassed various types, such as clinical trials, quasi-experimental, descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional studies. The collective insights from 3350 hemodialysis patients worldwide revealed seven primary categories of self-care behavior: 1) Dietary management, 2) Physical exercise, 3) Mental health management, 4) Maintenance of fistula, 5) Compliance with medication, 6) Post-dialysis issue management, and 7) Fluid regulation. Conclusions: Self-care practices play a pivotal role in enhancing the treatment outcomes of Patients Receiving Hemodialysis (PRH), simplifying therapy administration, and addressing potential complications effectively. Furthermore, the review underscores the importance of socio-economic factors, including education and income level, in shaping patients' self-care behaviors. It was observed that patients with higher education levels tended to engage more in physical activities and maintain better self-care practices.
