Prevalence of Restless Legs Syndrome and Its Relationship with Fatigue in Critical Care Nurses.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 critical care unit is inherently stressful due to its complexity, leading to fatigue and consequences such as restless legs syndrome (RLS). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of RLS and its relationship with fatigue in critical care nurses. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed with 200 nurses of critical care units of Shahroud hospitals in 2019 using the census sampling method. Data collection tools included the RLS questionnaire and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics (multiple linear regression analysis).
resultsThe results showed that 72% of the subjects had moderate to high RLS, and their mean fatigue was 55.31 ± 10.53. By increasing one point in the score of RLS and 1 year of critical care nursing experience, the fatigue score increases by 0.3 and 0.71.
conclusionsConsidering the relationship between fatigue and RLS in critical care nurses, supportive interventions seem necessary to reduce the effects of these two components.
