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

backgroundDepression in patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD) can cause significant physical and emotional problems.

aimThis study aimed to identify the factors affecting depressive symptoms in HD patients according to HD duration (i.e., time since first starting HD).

designA descriptive cross-sectional study.

methodsIn total, 470 HD patients in South Korea completed a questionnaire including validated measures of social support, self-efficacy, symptoms, self-management, quality of life and adaptation. The data were analysed using stepwise multiple regression to identify factors that influenced depressive symptoms in the participants according to HD duration.

resultsThe analysis of factors influencing depressive symptoms, segmented by haemodialysis duration into periods of less than 6 months, 6-11 months and more than 12 months, yielded models with explanatory powers of 56.8% (dialysis symptom index [DSI], quality of life, self-management, age, spouse), 62.8% (DSI, quality of life, social support), and 46.5% (DSI, psychosocial adaptation, self-efficacy), respectively.

conclusionThe findings of this study can serve as a foundation for developing tailored depression interventions for HD patients, taking into account their HD duration.
