The effect of an educational program on quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis in western Saudi Arabia.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 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
objectivesTo assess health-related quality of life (QOL) among hemodialysis (HD) patients attending HD units in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and to evaluate the effect of an educational program on health-related QOL.
methodOne hundred HD patients were recruited and followed from 4 different dialysis units in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between January 2018 and May 2018. The patients were divided into an intervention group (n=50) receiving educational program and control group (n=50). All sociodemographic and laboratory variables were recorded. The QOL short form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire has been used and the score calculated to all patients enrolled in the study before and after educational program. The participants received the educational program in individualized sessions.
resultsThe mean ± standard deviation in the intervention group were significantly greater than in controls after the educational program in most dimensions of QOL, including role-physical (35.5 ± 24.7 versus 24.5 ± 23.9, p less than 0.02), role-emotional (58.6 ± 40.1 versus 44.6+43.4, p less than 0.001) and general health (76.6 ± 16 versus 62.9 ± 19.4, p less than 0.001). This reflects high impact of patient counseling in the QOL of HD patients.
conclusionThe scores of health-related quality of life for HD patients were low. The educational program had significant positive impact on all health-related quality of life parameters.
