Pramipexole in peritoneal dialysis patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS): a protocol for a multicentre double-blind randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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
introductionRestless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological sensorimotor disorder among patients with end stage renal disease. This clinical trial aimed to provide evidence on the efficacy and safety of pramipexole in patients with uremic RLS receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a 12-week, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. In total, 104 patients with uremic RLS receiving PD will be enrolled from four hospitals and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either placebo or pramipexole. We will determine the efficacy of pramipexole in the improvement of International RLS Study Group Rating Scale as the primary outcome, while responder rates for other RLS scales at week 12, change from baseline to week 12 for psychological status, sleep disorder and quality of life and blood pressure represent the secondary outcomes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study was approved by the ethics committees of Peking University First Hospital, Xinqiao hospital of Army Medical University, Cangzhou Center Hospital and Peking University Shenzhen Hospital. The results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03817554.
