Factors Affecting Quality of Life in Hemodialysis Patients.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Background: Hemodialysis is one of the main therapies for patients with end-stage renal disease. Quality of life is essential in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis. Factors that influence the quality of life in hemodialysis patients must be identified. Purpose: This research evaluated the quality of life in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis and determined factors affecting the quality of life. Patients and Methods: This study used an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional design. The Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) questionnaire was used to evaluate nutritional status, and the KDQOL-SF Results: The total number of hemodialysis patients in the study was 124. Their median age was 44 years. The patients consisted of 66 (53%) men and 58 (47%) women. Overall, 84 patients had good quality of life (67.7%), and 40 (32.3%) reported poor quality of life. Our study showed a relationship between economic status and quality of life (p = 0.029) and between the number of comorbid factors and quality of life (p = 0.014). No relationship was found between nutritional status and quality of life (p = 0.121). Multivariate analysis using logistic regression analysis showed that the number of comorbidities was a significant factor in quality of life (p = 0.004, OR = 3.4 [1.67-7.46]). Conclusion: The majority of hemodialysis patients had good quality of life. Logistic regression analysis found that the number of comorbidities was a significant factor in the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Comorbidities in hemodialysis patients must be managed to improve their quality of life.
