Risk Factors for Fatigue in Adults Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis Who Have Chronic Pain: A Secondary Analysis of the HOPE Consortium Trial.
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: Fatigue is commonly experienced by adults with kidney failure receiving hemodialysis and those with chronic pain, but factors associated with fatigue are not fully understood. We determined the prevalence of fatigue in a clinical trial cohort of adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis who have chronic pain and identified factors associated with fatigue. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting & Participants: The baseline data from the HOPE Consortium Trial to Reduce Pain and Opioid Use in Hemodialysis (HOPE Trial). Of the 643 participants randomized in the HOPE Trial, 636 had a baseline fatigue assessment and were included in this study. Exposures: Pain, sociodemographic, biological, dialysis-related, medical comorbid condition, psychological, and behavioral factors. Outcome: Fatigue was evaluated with the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system Fatigue SF 6a and defined as a T-score of ≥ 55. Analytical Approach: Logistic regression models. Results: Seventy-three percent of participants reported fatigue (n = 463), mean age was 60.4 (12.5), 289 (45.4%) were female, and 294 (46.2%) were Black/African American. In fully adjusted models, higher pain interference and opioid use in the last 14 days were each associated with higher odds of having fatigue (odds ratio ([OR) ] 1.37; 95% CI, 1.18-1.61; OR 1.80; 95% CI, 1.03-3.21, respectively), as were greater depressive symptoms and sleep disturbance (OR 1.21; 95% CI. 1.13-1.31; OR 1.08 95% CI 1.03-1.12, respectively). Higher physical function was associated with lower odds of having fatigue (OR 0.96 95% CI 0.93-0.99). Limitations: Fatigue assessed at one point in time. Conclusions: In adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis who have chronic pain, pain interference, opioid use, depression, and sleep disturbances are associated with increased odds of fatigue, and greater physical function is associated with lower odds of fatigue. Future work is needed to evaluate longitudinal associations, underlying mechanisms, and identify interventions.
