Risk factors associated with poor sleep quality in maintenance hemodialysis patients: A single-center cross-sectional study.
Article in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Poor sleep quality is common in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and may worsen symptom burden and outcomes. This study evaluated Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)-defined poor sleep quality and its associated factors in a single-center MHD cohort. This single-center cross-sectional study included 143 patients receiving MHD at the Fifth People's Hospital of Jinan from June to December 2024. Sleep quality was assessed using the PSQI. Patients were categorized as having good sleep quality (PSQI < 5) or poor sleep quality (PSQI ≥ 5). Demographic, clinical, dialysis-related, and laboratory variables were collected, including dialysis vintage, residual urine volume, weekly dialysis frequency, and dialysis adequacy assessed by standard weekly Kt/V (stdKt/V). An exploratory subgroup analysis was also performed in patients with diabetes mellitus. Of the 143 patients, 76 (53.1%) had poor sleep quality. Significant between-group differences were observed for age, diabetes mellitus, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and dialysis adequacy (all P < .05). In univariable logistic regression, older age (odds ratio [OR] 1.044, 95% CI: 1.013-1.076, P = .005), diabetes mellitus (OR 3.041, 95% CI: 1.518-6.096, P = .002), RLS (OR 3.717, 95% CI: 1.647-8.392, P = .002), and stdKt/V < 2.1 (OR 2.562, 95% CI: 1.218-5.389, P = .013) were associated with poor sleep quality. In multivariable model 1, older age (per 1-year increase; OR 1.041, 95% CI: 1.005-1.079, P = .027), diabetes mellitus (OR 2.625, 95% CI: 1.194-5.772, P = .016), and stdKt/V < 2.1 (OR 2.875, 95% CI: 1.264-6.542, P = .012) remained independently associated with poor sleep quality, whereas female sex was not significant (OR 1.801, 95% CI: 0.775-4.185, P = .171). In model 2, diabetes mellitus (OR 2.609, 95% CI: 1.184-5.749, P = .017), stdKt/V < 2.1 (OR 2.346, 95% CI: 1.039-5.296, P = .040), and RLS (OR 3.002, 95% CI: 1.175-7.668, P = .022) remained significant. In an exploratory subgroup analysis of patients with diabetes mellitus, calcium-phosphorus product > 55 mg2/dL2 was associated with poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality was common in this MHD cohort and was associated with older age, diabetes mellitus, RLS, and lower dialysis adequacy. In patients with diabetes mellitus, the calcium-phosphorus product finding should be interpreted as exploratory.
