Effectiveness of Nursing and Non-Pharmacological Interventions in Reducing Intradialytic Hypotension Among Haemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Nursing open, 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
aimThis study aimed to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in reducing intradialytic hypotension among adult patients undergoing haemodialysis and to examine their implications for nursing practice.
designSystematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, DBpia and RISS were searched for studies published between January 2000 and July 2025. REVIEW
methodsRandomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies evaluating non-pharmacological interventions were included. Methodological quality was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. Random-effects meta-analysis and subgroup analyses were conducted and certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE.
resultsSixteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. Non-pharmacological interventions were associated with modest improvements in systolic blood pressure during haemodialysis, although substantial heterogeneity was observed. Dialysis technology-based interventions showed a significant improvement in systolic blood pressure, whereas nurse-led interventions showed a numerically similar effect but did not reach statistical significance. The overall certainty of evidence was very low.
conclusionNon-pharmacological interventions may support haemodynamic stability during haemodialysis; however, improvement in systolic blood pressure represents a surrogate haemodynamic outcome and does not necessarily indicate a reduced incidence of intradialytic hypotension. Further well-designed studies using clinically meaningful and patient-centred outcomes are needed. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Nurses can contribute to intradialytic hypotension prevention through assessment, monitoring, early recognition of haemodynamic instability, timely bedside interventions and patient education. IMPACT: The findings highlight the potential complementary roles of nurse-led care and dialysis technology-based approaches in the individualized management of adults undergoing haemodialysis. REPORTING
methodPRISMA 2020. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients or members of the public were not involved because this study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of previously published studies. TRIAL AND PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD420251150743).
