Impact of Hemodialysis on Sleep Disorders in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease in a Tertiary Care Academic Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionAlthough hemodialysis (HD) has prolonged the survival of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), it has also adversely affected the sleep and emotional state of these patients. We evaluated the impact of HD on sleep duration, quality, and other sleep-related disorders.
methodsWe recruited consecutive adult patients visiting our tertiary care dialysis unit. We included only ESRD patients who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <15 mL/min/1.73m
resultsOf the 56 patients we studied, 59% were males. The average age and body mass index (BMI) were 45.7 years and 20.98 kg/m
conclusionThis cross-sectional study focuses on the quantification of objective and subjective deterioration of sleep quality in ESRD patients on HD. The prevalence of EDS (63.64%), insomnia (51.52%), and poor sleep quality (84.84%) in the HD group was more than the previously reported values. The PSQI, ESS, and ISI scores were higher in HD patients, indicating poorer sleep quality. Our study highlights the underestimation of sleep disorders in HD patients in underserved areas. The results warrant a meticulous evaluation of the same by a keen nephrologist, followed by referral to sleep providers where necessary.
