1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction Trait emotional intelligence refers to individuals' capability to precisely identify and interpret emotions, use emotional information to support cognitive processes, and regulate emotional states effectively. The aim of the study was to explore the influence of demographic characteristics on emotional intelligence and treatment adherence in individuals undergoing hemodialysis. Methods In this study, a total of 468 patients on hemodialysis completed these questionnaires: i) Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQue-SF), ii) GR-Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire-Hemodialysis (GR-SMAQ-HD), and iii) A questionnaire about demographic and clinical characteristics. Spearman's correlation coefficients were utilized to investigate the association between two continuous variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized with the dependent variables, the dimensions of GR-SMAQ-HD and TEIQue-SF scale. Results Kidney transplant candidates had high overall emotional intelligence (p=0.007), while patients who were women demonstrated low overall emotional intelligence (p=0.005). Patients with a fistula or graft demonstrated enhanced self-control (p=0.022, p=0.026, respectively) and increased well-being (p=0.024). Older age was associated with high overall treatment adherence (p<0.001), while patients living alone and those with comorbidities demonstrated low levels of overall treatment adherence (p=0.007 and p=0.049, respectively). Conclusions Educational and psychosocial programs designed to improve emotional intelligence can be incorporated into hemodialysis care, in order to foster greater treatment adherence among patients on hemodialysis.
