Association between apathy in patients with maintenance dialysis and hospitalization or mortality: a prospective cohort study.

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: Patients receiving maintenance dialysis experience increased rates of hospitalization and mortality. Apathy is associated with reduced quality of life and increased hospitalization, institutionalization, and death. Whether apathy contributes to poor outcomes in population undergoing maintenance dialysis remain unknown. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of maintenance dialysis population who were consecutively recruited at the Dialysis Center of Shanghai General Hospital between July 2017 and August 2018 and were followed up for 3 year. Apathy status was measured by the Apathy Evaluation Scale. The study outcomes were the occurrence of death and first hospitalization. Results: A total of 647 participants included in this study, 274 (42.3%) had a current apathy and 373 (57.7%) were not. During the follow-up period, 394 (60.9%) were hospitalized, and 169 (26.1%) died. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risks of hospitalization and mortality were significantly higher in individuals with apathy than in those without apathy (both Conclusion: Apathy was highly prevalent and independently correlated with an increased risk of poor outcomes in patients with maintenance dialysis.
