Factors Associated With the Autonomy of Patients Treated by Haemodialysis in Community Centres. A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of renal care, 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
backgroundIn France, haemodialysis is delivered in different settings depending on patients' health status and autonomy. Community centres include self-care and satellite units, which vary in organisation and patient involvement.
objectivesTo describe the characteristics of patients treated in haemodialysis community centres and to identify factors associated with autonomy in self-care units.
designCross-sectional study.
participantsAll patients receiving haemodialysis in community centres in a French region on December 31, 2021. MEASUREMENTS: Patient characteristics and multiple dimensions of patient autonomy were recorded. Multivariate analyses assessed associations between patient factors and technical autonomy.
resultsAmong 507 patients, 304 were treated in self-care units and 203 in satellite haemodialysis units. Patients in satellite haemodialysis units had a median age of 69 years (IQR 59-78; range 24-90), compared with 66 years (IQR 54-75; range 22-91) in self-care haemodialysis units. They also had more comorbidities. Younger age was associated with greater autonomy in arteriovenous fistula puncture-site dressing (PR 0.97, 95% CI 0.96-0.98), setting the haemodialysis machine (PR 0.97, 95% CI 0.96-0.98), and programming it (PR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95-0.98). Autonomy differed significantly between centres, with centre affiliation significantly associated (p < .001) with autonomy for the arteriovenous fistula puncture-site dressing and machine-related tasks.
conclusionsPatient characteristics in self-care haemodialysis units did not fully explain autonomy for haemodialysis tasks. Considerable variability between centres was observed, suggesting that centre-related factors may contribute to differences in patient autonomy.
