Sleep disturbances in nursing homes.
Review in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 2 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
objectivesTo review the literature on sleep disturbances in nursing home settings. Although 50% of older adults complain of sleep difficulties, increased reports of sleep disturbances are generally associated with poor health. After controlling for comorbidities that often contribute to poor sleep, studies have shown that primary sleep disturbances in healthy older adults are, in fact, rare. Although common in older adults, sleep complaints are even more prevalent in elders living in nursing homes and the sleep disturbances experienced by institutionalized older adults are more severe. Factors contributing to sleep impairment in nursing home residents include age-related changes in sleep architecture and circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, dementia, depression, other medical illness, polypharmacy, and institutional and environmental factors. It is important that nursing home residents suffering from sleep problems be evaluated and treated.
conclusionImplementing some environmental and culture changes could result in significant improvement in the sleep of nursing home residents.
