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

objectivesTo determine how poor sleep affects the health of older ethnic minorities.

designCross-sectional study involving a population-based survey.

settingHispanic Established Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (H-EPESE) survey conducted in the southwestern United States.

participantsTwo thousand two hundred fifty-six Mexican-American men and women aged 65 and older. MEASUREMENTS: The association between self-reported sleep problems and mortality over a 15-year period in a population based sample of older Mexican Americans was examined. Using five waves of data (1993-2008) from the H-EPESE, Cox proportional hazard models stratified according to sex were used to model the risk of death as a function of chronic sleep problems.

resultsHaving any sleeping problems during the last month was associated with greater risk of mortality (hazard ratio = 1.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.00-1.29) in unadjusted models, although the association was attenuated after accounting for covariates.

conclusionsSimilar factors explained the association between sleep and mortality in men and women: health behaviors, depressive symptoms, and health conditions. These factors are related to stress, and both may lead to poor sleep quality. Research is needed to better understand the factors moderating the relationship between sleep, mortality, and sex.
