Quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms in living related kidney donors: a cross‑sectional study.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesFew studies have examined the quality of life of living kidney donors in mainland China. The data on anxiety and depression of living kidney donors was also scant. This study aimed to investigate quality of life, anxiety, and depression and identify their influencing factors among living kidney donors in mainland China.
methodsA cross-sectional study included 122 living kidney donors from a kidney transplantation center in China. The abbreviated World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item and Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item were used to assess the quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively.
resultsOur study found that the physical related quality of life of our donors was poorer than that of the domestic general population. Among 122 donors, 43.4% and 29.5% of them were found to have anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively. Poor health condition of recipient was identified as not only negative factors affecting all domains of quality of life, but also closely related to anxiety and depression of kidney donors. Donors with proteinuria were more likely to have a poor psychological, social related quality of life, as well as anxiety and depression symptoms.
conclusionsLiving kidney donation has an impact on the physical and mental health of donors. Both the physical and mental health of living kidney donors should not be ignored. More attention and support should be given to donors with proteinuria and donors whose relative recipient suffering poor health condition.
