Moderate Stress Level among Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in a Tertiary Care Centre.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Stress is the response of body to any change. The end stage of renal disease and the process of haemodialysis treatment are long-term stressors that alter patients' well-being and everyday lifestyle. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of moderate stress levels among patients undergoing hemodialysis in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients undergoing hemodialysis from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022. Ethical clearance from the Institutional Review Committee. Patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis for at least 3 months were included in the study. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 118 patients, 82 (69.49%) (61.18-77.80, 95% Confidence Interval) had moderate stress levels, out of which 51 (62.20%) were male and 31 (37.80%) were female. Conclusions: The prevalence of moderate stess level was found to be higher than other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: hemodialysis; prevalence; psychiatric disorders.
