Effect of a Spiritual Care Program on Treatment Adherence and Sleep Quality in Hemodialysis Patients: A Cluster-Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aims: Declining sleep quality is common among hemodialysis patients, adversely affecting their quality of life and treatment adherence. Improving sleep is a nursing priority, and targeted interventions might be beneficial. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a spiritual care program on treatment adherence and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study was a parallel, two-group, cluster-randomized clinical trial with a pretest-posttest design. In 2023, 80 hemodialysis patients from two teaching hospitals in Urmia, Iran, were enrolled via convenience sampling and cluster-randomized by hospital unit to intervention ( Results: The mean age of the 76 participants was 52.09 years (range: 20-84 years); 65 participants (85.5%) were male, and 11 (14.5%) were female. Baseline scores showed no significant between-group differences (adherence: Conclusion: A spiritual care program improves treatment adherence and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients. Hospital administrators should integrate spiritual interventions like meditation and counseling, considering barriers such as staffing. Future studies should include diverse populations and longer follow-ups. Reporting Tool: The CONSORT 2010 checklist was used.
