Bridging the nutritional care gap: nurse-led education for potassium control in hemodialysis patients.

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: In Morocco, a persistent gap exists between recommended standards of care and routine clinical practice in hemodialysis units, largely due to the high clinical workload of nephrologists and the absence of dietitians in several public hemodialysis centers. This shortage restricts individualized dietary and lifestyle counseling. This study aimed to explore the feasibility and potential clinical relevance of a simple, nurse-led educational intervention designed for hemodialysis centers operating without nutrition specialists. Methods: A quasi-experimental, single-arm, pre-post pilot study was conducted from February to June 2025 among 30 hemodialysis patients from three Moroccan centers with no permanent or visiting dietitians. The educational program focused on dietary potassium management, fluid intake control, thirst management strategies, and basic physical activity recommendations. Outcomes included serum potassium levels, quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), and interdialytic weight gain, assessed at baseline (T0) and post-intervention (T1). Results: Serum potassium levels significantly decreased after the intervention ( Conclusion: In this pilot study, a nurse-led educational intervention was associated with improved serum potassium control among hemodialysis patients in resource-limited settings lacking specialized nutrition personnel. However, no meaningful changes were observed in interdialytic weight gain or quality of life, suggesting that more intensive or individualized interventions may be required to influence these outcomes.
