Prevalence, risk factors, and clinical impact of restless leg syndrome on uremia patients with hemodialysis.

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: Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) seriously affects the sleep and life quality of patients, yet it often leads to delay in diagnosis and treatment due to a lack of awareness. Clinical studies on RLS, particularly regarding its epidemiology in uremia patients, remain relatively scarce. Objective: This study conducted a clinical analysis to assess the frequency of RLS among hemodialysis patients and to explore its impact on their sleep and quality of life. Methods: We collected clinical data and laboratory results from 147 uremia patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at Xiangyang Central Hospital. Independent risk factors for RLS were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Sleep quality and quality of life were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), respectively. We compared these outcomes between the RLS and non-RLS groups. Results: Among the 147 patients, 30 (20.41, 95% CI, 14.0-27.0%) were diagnosed with RLS. Multivariate logistic regression analysis, performed with caution due to the limited number of RLS cases ( Conclusion: The incidence of RLS is notably elevated in uremia patients on maintenance hemodialysis. RLS significantly impairs both sleep quality and the physiological function of these patients. Early identification and management of RLS are crucial for improving their overall well-being. Further large-scale studies are warranted to confirm the identified risk factors. Clinical trial registration: MedicalResearch.org.cn, MR-42-24-017773.
