A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Individualized Patient Education on Hemodialysis Adequacy and Interdialytic Weight Gain.
Article in Journal of caring sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Introduction: Today, there is an emphasis on considering the individual needs and preferences of the patient in education and care. This study aims to assess the effect of individualized education on hemodialysis adequacy (Kt/V) and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Methods: 102 HD patients were randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups. Patients in the intervention group (n=51) received individualized education. The control group (n=51) received routine education. The patients' dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) and IDWG were assessed before the intervention, immediately, and three months after the last session of individualized education. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: A significant increase in Kt/V was found in the intervention group compared with the control group immediately and three months after the intervention ( Conclusion: The results highlighted the importance of individualized education for improving HD adequacy and lowering IDWG in HD patients. Moreover, it is recommended to tailor the patients' education based on their own needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
