1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is characterized by unpleasant nocturnal sensations in the lower limbs, and it has emerged as the fourth leading cause of insomnia and is often an underdiagnosed medical condition among sleep disorders. The symptoms of RLS are more common in chronic kidney disease patients than in the general population. Therefore, we performed the first meta-analysis to estimate the risk of RLS among chronic kidney disease patients. We conducted a comprehensive search in Embase, Ovid-MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases. Data were analyzed with the random-effects model using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software to find the odds ratio (OR). The heterogeneity was checked with the Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41105-024-00513-4.
