"It's Part of Dialysis": Lived Experiences of Transportation Challenges Among Patients and Staff in In-Center Hemodialysis.

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
Transportation insecurity significantly affects dialysis care, yet little research examines its impact from both patient and provider perspectives. This qualitative study explored how transportation challenges influence the experiences of patients receiving in-center hemodialysis and dialysis clinic staff. We conducted 78 semi-structured interviews with patients (n = 49) and staff (n = 29) across four Northern California dialysis clinics. Participants described challenges of navigating two systems, healthcare and transportation, and how this creates emotional distress for patients and staff, disrupts clinic workflows, and compromises treatment adherence. Transportation services are a major part of the patient and staff experience in dialysis clinics. Our findings highlight the need to improve transportation for dialysis patients through collaboration between healthcare systems, transportation providers, and community stakeholders.
