Restless legs syndrome is contributing to fatigue and low quality of life levels in hemodialysis patients.
Article in World journal of nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04630470 (Effect of Massage Therapy With Lavender Oil on Severity of Restless Legs Syndrome and Quality of Life in Hemodialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
aimTo examine whether hemodialysis (HD) patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) are subjects of greater fatigue and impaired quality of life (QoL) compared to HD patients without RLS.
methodsEighty five stable HD patients participated in this study. According to their RLS status, the patients were divided into the RLS group (
resultsThe HD patients with RLS scored worse in all the questionnaires used in the study (
conclusionHD patients with RLS are subject to lower QoL related parameters and greater fatigue compared to HD patients without RLS. RLS should be successfully managed in order to improve the QoL of the sufferers.
