Emergency Department Presentations of Chronic Kidney Disease in a Tertiary Hospital of Nepal: An Observational Study.
Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
Introduction: Progressive chronic kidney disease is associated with complications like hypertension, anemia, mineral bone disorder, metabolic acidosis and electrolyte disorders which lead to higher morbidity, mortality and poorer quality of life. Available estimates of chronic kidney disease cases and those receiving treatment suggests an existing gap in care. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its complications in the emergency department of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was done. The participants were chronic kidney disease patients with complications visiting the Emergency Department of Maharajgunj Medical Campus. Census sampling technique was used to enroll all chronic kidney disease patients with complications meeting inclusion criteria, visiting the Emergency Department from 11 Results: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease was found to be 2.5%. The most common complications were anemia 399 (53.69%) and hypertensive crisis 396 (53.29%). Least common complications among CKD patients was sepsis 8 (1.08%). Several other complications like arrhythmia, nephropathy, hypoglycemia, obstructive uropathy, pericardial effusion, urinary tract infection, pleural effusion, pneumonia were observed in 50 (6.73%) of the CKD patients. Death as an outcome was reported in 9 (1.2%) of total patients. Conclusions: Chronic kidney disease proportion in emergency departments is high, with anemia and hypertension being common complications. Targeted interventions might include establishing hemodialysis units and increasing staff awareness.
