QOL score across socio-demographic and ESRD characteristics. The error bars show the mean (95% CI) QOL for dialysis (red ) and renal transplant patients (blue ). The size of the square is inversely proportional to the variance of the mean. The dotted vertical line shows the average QOL of the participants. The P-value shows the test for the difference in QOL between haemodialysis and transplant recipient patients across the socio demographic and ESRD variables. The individual estimates are shown in Additional file 1
