Physical Activity in Short Daily Home Dialysis versus to In-Center Hemodialysis: Results from the Self-convecTive Evaluation of Short Daily Home Dialysis on Physical Activity Study.
Observational study in Kidney360, 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
key pointsShort daily home hemodialysis preserves physical activity, with ≈30% higher step counts and no dialysis-day decline compared with in-center hemodialysis. Short daily home hemodialysis is associated with a reduced treatment burden despite more frequent sessions. Short daily home hemodialysis delivers effective and more physiological dialysis, achieving better middle-molecule clearance and preserved nutritional status.
backgroundShort daily home dialysis (SDHD) has been proposed as a patient-centered alternative to conventional in-center hemodialysis (ICHD).
methodsThe multicenter Self-convecTive Evaluation of short daily home dialysis on Physical Activity observational and prospective cohort compared SDHD with ICHD over 12 months in France and Belgium. The primary end point was average daily step count, assessed using wearable activity trackers. Secondary outcomes included sleep, sedentary time, recovery after dialysis, laboratory parameters, quality of life, and treatment burden.
resultsA total of 152 patients were enrolled (82 SDHD, 70 ICHD). At baseline, SDHD patients demonstrated 28% higher activity levels (6673 versus 4768 steps/d), a difference sustained throughout follow-up. Physical activity in ICHD patients was significantly lower on dialysis days, whereas SDHD patients maintained stable patterns. Sleep duration was greater un SDHD (up to 405 minutes/d) and lower in ICHD (to 202 minutes/d). Sedentary time remained consistently lower, and recovery time tended to be shorter in SDHD (60 versus 120 minutes). Laboratory analyses showed lower predialysis β 2-microglobulin and preserved nutritional markers in SDHD, despite similar anemia and metabolic control.
conclusionsCompared with ICHD, SDHD was associated with sustained preservation of physical activity, better postdialysis recovery, improved sleep, and reduced sedentary burden, supporting its use as a safe and patient-centered modality.
