1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 prevalent in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and contribute to reduced quality of life, cardiovascular risk, and mortality. While psychosocial factors influence sleep quality, the pathways linking family support to sleep outcomes in this population remain unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine whether depression and fatigue mediate the association between family support and sleep disorders among MHD patients using a chain mediation model. A total of 308 patients from two tertiary hospitals in Xinjiang, China (December 2024-March 2025) completed the Perceived Social Support from Family Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Spearman correlation and structural equation modeling with 5,000 bootstrap resamples were used to analyze direct and indirect effects. Results indicated that higher family support correlated with lower depression (
