The association of Malnutrition-Inflammation Score with sleep quality and mental health in hemodialysis patients: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundHemodialysis is crucial for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but it poses challenges that impact health and quality of life. Malnutrition, inflammation, sleep disturbances, and mental health disorders are common among hemodialysis patients, interconnecting and influencing outcomes. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the association between the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) and various health parameters, including sleep quality and mental health in hemodialysis patients.
methodsA multicenter cross-sectional study investigated the association between the MIS and health parameters in 423 hemodialysis patients across eight centers. Assessments included MIS, physical activity levels, dietary intake, sleep quality, and mental health status, along with biochemical parameters. Statistical analyses using SPSS software were conducted to identify associations.
resultsSignificant differences were observed in demographic, clinical, and biochemical characteristics across MIS quartiles (p < .05). Older age, lower BMI, longer dialysis vintage, and altered biochemical profiles were noted in higher MIS quartiles. Depression scores were significantly higher in higher MIS quartiles (p = .04). Multivariable analyses confirmed these associations, indicating higher odds of poorer sleep quality, depression, and anxiety with increasing MIS quartiles (p < .05).
conclusionThe study highlights the intricate association between malnutrition, inflammation, sleep quality, and mental health conditions in hemodialysis patients. Addressing these factors comprehensively and tailoring interventions may lead to improved outcomes and well-being.
