Effects of sleep disorders and sedative-hypnotic medications on health-related quality of life in dialysis patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeSleep disorders are very common among dialysis patients, leading patients to frequently take sedative-hypnotic medications; however, the effects of sleep disorders and the use of such drugs on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) have rarely been investigated.
methodsThe Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Short Form-12 were used to assess sleep quality and patient health situations, respectively. Logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with deterioration of the mental component summary (MCS) score and the physical component summary (PCS) score.
resultsA total of 461 patients undergoing dialysis were recruited. The prevalence of sleep disorders was 67.0%. Among the study population, 30.4% of patients took sedative-hypnotic medications to improve their sleep quality. Both the PCS (81.25 vs. 71.88, p < 0.001) and MCS scores (78.63 vs. 74.63, p < 0.001), which indicate HRQOL, were decreased among patients with sleep disorders compared with good sleepers. However, neither the PCS nor MCS scores showed any significant difference between patients with sleep disorders who used sedative-hypnotic medications and those who did not.
conclusionSleep disorders were closely associated with deterioration of both mental HRQOL and physical HRQOL. Sedative-hypnotic medication use did not affect HRQOL among patients with sleep disorders undergoing dialysis.
