Factors associated with stigma in patients undergoing hemodialysis: a meta-analysis and systematic review.
Review in American journal of translational research, 2024. 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
backgroundPatients with hemodialysis (HD) frequently encounter stigma, which impacts their social network and adherence to treatment, increasing their risk of depression and lowering their quality of life. The factors associated with stigma among patients with HD remain poorly understood due to insufficient evidence. To fill this gap, this meta-analysis was conducted.
methodsWe carried out a thorough literature review in both Chinese and English databases like China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang Knowledge Data Service Platform, PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) and Web of Science. We included literature up to May 25, 2024, focusing on the levels and factors related to stigma in HD patients. Data extraction and quality assessment of the included literature were separately carried out by two researchers, who also independently did the literature screening. Data analysis was carried out using Stata 15.1 software. The possible sources of heterogeneity were explored by sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis, and the robustness of the results was evaluated.
resultsA total of 12 papers were included, and the quality of these papers was evaluated as moderate or above. The findings of the meta-analysis demonstrated that the pooled stigma mean score was 59.30 [95% (Confidence interval)
conclusionHealthcare professionals should pay attention to the early assessment of stigma in patients with HD, implement personalized interventions targeting related factors, and promote effective coping strategies for managing the disease.
