Depression symptoms and quality of life in patients receiving renal replacement therapy in Jordan: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. 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
Patients with chronic illnesses, such as those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) that are undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT), face significant psychological changes. This descriptive cross-sectional research was carried out to investigate the factors that influence depressive symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in patients with end-stage renal disease. Data were collected from 70 participants undergoing RRT using a self-reported questionnaire that included sociodemographic information, depressive symptoms, disease status, and QoL. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) screening scale was used to measure depressive symptoms and the SF-36 (Medical Outcome Survey-Short Form 36) was used to assess QoL. Participants in the study rated their depressive symptoms as 'minimum (44.3%), 'mild' (20%), 'moderate' (21.4%), and 'severe (14.3%). Furthermore, a shorter duration of dialysis and comorbid conditions were significantly associated with the development of depressive symptoms. Patients on RRT for a longer period of time had lower physical activity scores than patients on dialysis for a shorter period of time. Male participants have a higher mental QoL than female participants, suggesting that the mental aspect of renal disease is less impaired than the physical aspect. The findings of this study are expected to increase awareness of RRT therapy targets and enhance patient outcomes.
