The effect of a training program on the self-care efficacy of hemodialysis patients with mineral and bone disorders: A quasi-experimental study.

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
Background and Aims: Patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mineral and bone disorders (MBD) often do not know much about their diseases. A training program can help them improve their quality of life. This study aimed to assess the effect of a training program on the self-care efficacy of the hemodialysis patients with MBDs in southeastern Iran. Method: We conducted a quasi-experimental study involving 49 patients with CKD-MBD in southeastern Iran in 2021. The patients were randomly assigned to either the control or intervention group. The intervention group received 12 self-care training sessions delivered through WhatsApp, whereas the control group received routine information. We administered CKD-MBD knowledge and behavior questionnaires of the intervention, and measured laboratory parameters before and 1 month after the intervention. The data were analyzed by SPSS15 with descriptive and analytical statistics. Paired Results: The mean knowledge scores of the control group were 4.78 ± 1.78 and 6.22 ± 2.11 before and after the intervention, respectively ( Conclusion: To sum up, the study found that the training program improved the knowledge and behavior of hemodialysis patients with MBD. WhatsApp was a good and cheap way to teach them self-care, and it helped them do it better. These results implied that this training program could help the patients have a better quality of life.
