Health-related quality of life in endstage renal failure.

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
The objective of this study was to describe the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients on different forms of treatment for endstage renal failure in such a way that the data could be used in a cost-utility analysis of renal failure treatment in Britain. Twenty-four British renal units participated in this study. 997 adult dialysis and transplant patients were randomly selected from these units using the European Dialysis and Transplant (EDTA) Registry Database. The Health Measurement Questionnaire was completed by 705 of the 900 patients who were alive at the time of the survey (response rate of 78%). The HRQOL data were linked with comorbidity data and with clinical data from the EDTA Registry. Compared to the general population, patients with endstage renal failure experienced a lower quality of life. Many factors contributed to this, but uncertainty about the future and lack of energy emerged as key components. Transplant recipients reported better HRQOL than dialysis patients, they reported fewer problems with physical mobility, self-care, social and personal relationships and usual activities. They also experienced significantly less distress, while dialysis patients reported problems with depression, anxiety, pain and uncertainty about the future. These differences remained after controlling for age and comorbidity.
