The Effect of Foot Reflexology Massage on Fatigue and Sleep Quality in Hemodialysis Patients.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07518628 (THE EFFECT OF REFLEXOLOGY AND SLEEP HYGIENE EDUCATION ON SLEEP QUALITY AND COMFORT LEVEL IN HEMODIALYSIS TREATMENT), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Hemodialysis patients experience fatigue due to factors such as toxic compounds in the bloodstream, fluid, and electrolyte disorders. Despite resting, they still feel tired and report poor sleep quality. This study aimed to investigate the effect of foot reflexology massage on reducing fatigue and improving sleep quality in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on hemodialysis patients in southeastern Iran. Eligible patients were selected through purposive sampling and allocated to either the intervention group ( Results: The findings showed that the mean score of sleep quality in the intervention group decreased from 16.23 before the intervention to 3.31 two weeks after the intervention ( Conclusion: The results of this study showed that foot reflexology can reduce fatigue and increase sleep quality in hemodialysis patients. As a simple, feasible, and non-invasive method without complications, reflexology can be used by nurses to reduce fatigue and increase sleep quality in HD patients.
