Evaluation of Complications, Peripheral Neuropathic Pain, and Sleep Quality in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMost patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) suffer from problems such as neuropathic pain, sleep disturbance, anxiety, and depression, which negatively affect their quality of life. Painful DPN is one of the most common grounds for seeking medical attention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the complications, peripheral neuropathic pain, and sleep quality in diabetic patients.
methodsThis descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study included 300 patients with neuropathic pain. Data were obtained using the Descriptive Information Form, Self-Administered Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs Scale (S-LANSS), and Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RSQ).
resultsThe mean level of peripheral neuropathic pain that the patients suffered in the last week, according to the VAS, was 4.143 ± 2.983. The S-LANSS mean score of the patients was 16.493 ± 7.536, and their total mean score on the RSQ was 39.986 ± 33.150. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the mean scores of the S-LANSS and the RSQ (r = -0.489, p < 0.001). There was also a statistically significant negative correlation between the mean scores of the Neuropathic Pain VAS and the RSQ (r = -0.401, p < 0.001). Total S-LANSS Score, duration of diabetes diagnosis, HbA1c%, neuropathic pain VAS severity, and age accounted for 36.1% of the variance in the quality of sleep score of patients.
conclusionNeuropathic pain and poor sleep quality were prevalent in diabetic patients. It was found that the duration of DM and microvascular complications, particularly neuropathy, impaired sleep quality.
