Clinical factors and comorbidities affecting health-related quality of life in postrenal transplant patients.

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
backgroundHealth-related quality of life is different among different transplant cohorts with respect to different variables which predict mortality and graft survival. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of clinical factors on the health-related quality of life in postrenal transplant patients.
methodsThis census study was conducted at the Institute of Kidney Diseases Peshawar, Pakistan. Data were collected on a questionnaire " Kidney Diseases Quality of Life-Short Form-1.3 Urdu version" and were analyzed in the 3 main domains, for example, physical component summary (PCS), mental component summary, and kidney disease component summary using SPSS version 21. Mean scores for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, levels of hemoglobin, and serum creatinine were compared by unpaired
resultsA total of 277 men (87.9%) and 38 (12.1%) women participated in the study. Mean age was 37.26 (±10.14) years (range 18-65 years). Hypertension was reported in 72.2% and DM in 10.8%. Hemoglobin was <12.5g% in 26.0% patients. Patients with DM had significant lower PCS (
conclusionLower graft function and DM were associated with lower PCS and MCS scores. Hypertension was associated with lower MCS score and anemia with lower PCS score.
