Improving sleep quality of patients undergoing hemodialysis in Iran through receiving spiritual care program: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a spiritual care program on the sleep quality of 95 patients undergoing hemodialysis in Iran. Participants from Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Hamadan, were randomly assigned to either the experimental (N = 48) or control (N = 47) group. The intervention comprised six sessions (two sessions of 45-60 min per week) and encompassed spiritual needs assessment, religious, psychological, supportive, and spiritual care, as well as evaluation. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), with scores > 5 indicating poor sleep, at baseline, one month, and two months post-intervention. At the two-month follow-up, a significant between-group difference was observed in overall sleep quality and its dimensions (P < 0.05). The experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in sleep quality from baseline to two months post-intervention (P < 0.001), whereas the control group exhibited a decline (P < 0.05). These findings underscore the significance of incorporating spiritual care into nursing practice to enhance sleep quality in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Trial registration: (Clinical trial registration code: IRCT20160110025929N41 and date: 11/11/2022).
