Low back pain in hemodialysis patients: Risk factors and its impact on health-related quality of life.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07000006 (The Effect of Exercise on Low Back Pain and Quality of Life in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate frequency and characteristics of low back pain and to identify possible risk factors of low back pain and its impact on health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 87 hemodialysis patients (41 males, 46 females; mean age: 53.3±15.8 years; range, 21 to 80 years) were included in the study between January 2015 and July 2015. Medical charts and face-to-face interviews were used to collect clinical and demographic data. A comprehensive clinical evaluation of low back pain was implemented. The patients were divided into two groups: those with (n=32) and without (n=55) low back pain. Demographic data, quality of life, pain, and disability were compared between the groups. Pain severity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Low back pain-associated disability was measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Risk factors of low back pain were identified using multiple logistic regression analysis. The impact of low back pain on health-related quality of life was measured using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP).
resultsAdvanced age, increased body mass index, and smoking were found to be significant independent risk factors of low back pain (p=0.048; p=0.037; p=0.020, respectively). Energy, pain, and physical mobility subscale scores of the NHP were also higher in the hemodialysis patients with low back pain (p=0.008; p<0.001; p<0.001, respectively). Energy, pain, sleep, and physical mobility subscale scores of the NHP showed a significant positive correlation with the ODI scores (r=0.424, p=0.016; r=0.803, p<0.001; r=0.493, p=0.004; r=0.862, p<0.001, respectively). The etiology of low back pain was non-specific in the majority of the patients (71.9%). There were spondylodiscitis in two patients (6.2%), compression fractures in two patients (6.2%), spinal stenosis in one patient (3.1%), and discopathy in four patients (12.5%).
conclusionLow back pain is a common condition in hemodialysis patients. Advanced age, increased body mass index, and smoking are the main risk factors of low back pain. The presence of low back pain is also related to poor health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
