Experience of Chronic Kidney Disease and Perceptions of Transplantation by Sex.
Article in JAMA network open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Importance: The pathway to kidney transplantation (KT) begins with the patient's acceptance of this surgical procedure after discussion with the nephrologist. The patients' perceptions of the disease and of KT may influence their willingness to undergo transplantation. Objective: To describe patients' experiences of kidney disease and their perceptions of KT and the nephrologists' perceptions of the patient experience. Design, Setting, and Participants: This qualitative study collected data through semistructured interviews with patients with chronic kidney disease and nephrologists in the Bretagne, Île-de-France and Normandie regions, France. Researchers involved in the study in each region purposely selected 99 patients with chronic kidney disease who initiated dialysis in 2021, based on their age, sex, dialysis facility ownership, and also 45 nephrologists, based on their sex and years of experience. Data analysis was performed from January to October 2023. Main Outcomes and Measures: Themes were identified using inductive thematic analysis. Specific characteristics of men and women as well as the nephrologist's views for each theme were described. Results: This study included 42 men and 57 women (56 [57%] aged 60 years or older) who started dialysis in 2021 and 45 nephrologists (23 women and 22 men). Six major themes were identified: (1) burden of chronic kidney disease on patients and their families, (2) health care professional-patient relationship and other factors that modulate chronic kidney disease acceptance, (3) dialysis perceived as a restrictive treatment, (4) patients' representation of the kidney graft, (5) role of past experiences in KT perception, and (6) dualistic perception of KT. In some cases, women and nephrologists indicated that women's perceptions and experiences were different than men's; for example, the disease's psychological impact and the living donor KT refusal were mainly reported by 8 women. Conclusions and Relevance: Patients' past experience of chronic kidney disease in general and of KT in particular, as well as their relationship with their family and nephrologist, were substantial determinants of KT perception in this qualitative study. Targeted policies on these different factors might help to improve access to KT, and more research is needed to understand whether there are sex-based disparities.
