Does Kidney Transplantation Affect Sleep and Fatigue in Patients With Kidney Disease?
Article in Transplantation direct, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSleep disorders and fatigue are highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients but there is limited evidence on the effect of kidney transplant (KTx) on these.
methodsIn a prospective cohort study of patients with advanced CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate<30 mL/min/1.73 m
resultsAmong 77 patients (mean age 51 y, BMI 29 kg/m
conclusionsMore than half of the KTx recipients had SA. There was no significant change in SA severity with KTx. Clinically meaningful moderate size improvements in patient-reported fatigue and health-related quality of life may be seen with KTx.
