Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score predicts all-cause mortality in Chinese dialysis patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundThe relationship between Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score and survival of dialysis patients has not been well studied. The aim of this study was to explore the association between PSQI score and all-cause mortality in dialysis patients.
methodsFifty-one hemodialysis and 58 peritoneal dialysis patients were enrolled in this study. PSQI score > 5 and ≤ 5 indicated "poor sleepers" and "good sleepers", respectively. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were performed.
resultsThe median PSQI score was 7.0 (4.0-10.0). Sixty-seven (61.5%) patients had poor sleep quality (SQ). Compared with good sleepers, poor sleepers had significantly lower levels of hemoglobin [74.0 (61.0, 85.0) vs. 78.0 (68.0, 97.0), P = 0.03] and serum bicarbonate (18.0 ± 4.5 vs. 20.0 ± 3.7, P = 0.022). The follow-up time was 69.1 ± 29.9 months. By multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, PSQI total score was the independent risk factor of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.36, P = 0.007]. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis showed that 7 was the cutoff value at which the effect of PSQI score on mortality changed. Patients with a PSQI score > 7 had a 2.96-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.96, 95% CI 1.15-7.61, P = 0.025).
conclusionsPSQI score can be used as a predictor of all-cause mortality in dialysis patients, and those with PSQI > 7 were associated with increased odds of mortality.
