Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome: an underdiagnosed condition? Results from a monocentric observational study.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 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
Background: Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is a neurological complication occurring during hemodialysis initiation whose pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Limited prospective adult data exists on DDS incidence and risk factors. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study (February 2021-February 2022) including 48 patients initiating hemodialysis. DDS was assessed using a standardized severity score (0-3) before and after each of the first four sessions, defined as any increase in post-session score ( Results: Among 48 patients (70.8% male, median age 67 years), 22.9% developed DDS with two patients experiencing multiple episodes. Univariate analysis identified centrally acting agent use (45.5% vs. 8.1%, Conclusion: DDS is a common complication (22.9% incidence) with intradialytic hypertension as the key independent predictor. Pre-dialysis urea concentration was not predictive. These findings suggest a pathophysiological model involving acid-base dynamics and intracranial pressure regulation rather than solute gradients alone. Future multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings and optimize dialysis initiation strategies.
