Psychological problems as the major cause of fatigue in clients undergoing hemodialysis: A qualitative study.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2018. 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
backgroundIt is obvious that hemodialysis is a stressful process, leading to numerous social and psychological problems, and may cause fatigue and helplessness.
objectiveThis study aimed to explain the experiences of hemodialysis clients regarding the effect of psychological problems on fatigue.
methodsThis article was extracted from a qualitative study conducted on clients undergoing hemodialysis in Khorramabad. To this end, a total of 15 participants were purposefully selected using the snowball sampling method and the required data was collected using individual, face to face, detailed and semi-structured interviews. There were 12 client interviewees and one doctor, one nurse and one hemodialysis client's spouse. Content analysis was used to analyze the data.
resultsContinuous analysis of data and documents obtained from the interviews on the hemodialysis clients' experiences and comments regarding the main causes of fatigue revealed two main categories: 1) Psychological effects with subcategories of psychological stress and exhaustion; 2) Needs and constraints with subcategories of individual and social needs and constraints.
conclusionAccording to the clients' speech and expression analysis, psychological impacts and disease-induced needs and constraints were the most important cause of fatigue and its continuation among these clients.
