Factors influencing perceived importance of haemodialysis adherence among end stage kidney failure patients in tertiary care centres in Nepal.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundChronic Kidney Failure is a significant global public health concern requiring kidney replacement therapy such as dialysis. Perception of the importance of adhering to dialysis helps to determine how patients interpret and interact with the influencing attitude, thoughts and behaviours towards adhering to dialysis. This study aimed to assess the perception of the importance of adherence to haemodialysis and its associated factors among end-stage Kidney failure patients in tertiary care centres in Nepal.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted from May to August 2025 in two tertiary care centres in Nepal that included patients undergoing hemodialysis aged 18 years and above. The outcome variable was perception of the importance of adherence to dialysis and was measured using The End Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ). The independent variables were socio-demographics, dialysis-related characteristics and accessibility factors.
resultsAmong 283 hemodialysis patients in the study, their mean age was 50.6 years with higher prevalence of good perception (91%) among single [APR (adjusted prevalence ratio):1.12; 95% CI (confidence interval): 1.03-1.21)] and parents accompanying patients (APR:1.14; 95% CI:1.01-1.28) compared to married, and non-parent accompanying patients respectively.
conclusionThe study showed good perception of hemodialysis adherence, especially among singles and those accompanied by their parents.
