Reproductive Health Knowledge and Educational Priorities in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross-Sectional Survey of People With CKD.
Article in Kidney medicine, 2026. 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
Rationale & Objective: Female reproductive health is affected by kidney disease but is often not addressed in nephrology care. Our objective was to better understand patient education needs on this topic to facilitate reproductive health education and care in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Study Design: A cross-sectional online survey. Setting & Participants: Female assigned sex at birth, aged 18-45 years, within the United States, fluent in English, with CKD recruited from national kidney organizations, research consortiums, and an academic medical center. Outcomes: Reproductive health knowledge satisfaction, education needs, and communication preferences and barriers. Exposures: Gravidity, pregnancy planning, CKD stage, disease etiology, health literacy, and demographics. Analytic Approach: Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine associations between patient characteristics, knowledge satisfaction, and education needs. Descriptive statistics were used to assess communication preferences and barriers. Results: Two hundred and nine surveys were completed. In total, 77% of participants self-identified as White, 11% Black, 4% Asian, and 11% Hispanic. A total of 23% had limited health literacy. Individuals planning a pregnancy in the future had lower knowledge satisfaction in univariate analysis. After multivariable analysis, only health literacy was significantly associated with knowledge satisfaction ( Limitations: The limitations include convenience sampling and generalizability because of the online delivery of the survey and overrepresentation of higher socioeconomic groups. Conclusions: This study provides priority topics to include in pregnancy planning during CKD care. Patients want advice from their nephrologists. More tools are needed to support reproductive health education for people with CKD, starting by addressing the need for those with limited health literacy.
