A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of non-pharmacological interventions in improving psychological status and sleep quality among hemodialysis patients.

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: Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis Objective: To systematically evaluate the effects of non-pharmacological interventions on depression, anxiety, and sleep quality in patients receiving MHD. Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from January 2000 to February 2026 for English-language randomized controlled trials Result: Fourteen randomized controlled trials were included. Meta-analyses comprised 9 studies (570 participants) for depression, 11 studies (647 participants) for anxiety, and 14 studies (871 participants) for sleep quality. Compared with usual care, non-pharmacological interventions significantly improved depression (SMD = -0.62, 95% CI: -0.87 to -0.37, I Conclusion: The available evidence suggests that non-pharmacological interventions may improve depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and sleep quality in patients receiving MHD. However, the certainty of evidence was low for anxiety and sleep quality outcomes and moderate for depressive symptoms, and these findings should be interpreted cautiously.
