Sleep disorders in chronic kidney disease.
Review in Nature reviews. Nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) but are often under-recognized. Restless legs syndrome, which is common in CKD owing to issues with dopamine metabolism and is exacerbated by iron deficiency and uraemia, can lead to poor sleep quality and increased daytime fatigue. Insomnia is also prevalent in CKD, particularly in patients requiring dialysis, with increased sleep latency and sleep fragmentation being reported. The cause of insomnia in CKD is multifactorial - poor sleep habits and frequent napping during dialysis, uraemia, medications and mood disorders have all been suggested as potential contributing factors. Sleep apnoea and CKD are also now recognized as having a bi-directional relationship. Sleep apnoea is a risk factor for accelerated progression of CKD, and fluid overload, which is associated with kidney failure, can lead to both obstructive and central sleep apnoea. The presence of obstructive sleep apnoea in CKD can exacerbate the already heightened cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in these patients, as well as leading to daytime fatigue and reduced quality of life. Increased awareness, timely diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic interventions are essential to reduce the negative impact of sleep disorders in patients with kidney disease.
