Poor sleep in organ transplant recipients: self-reports and actigraphy.
Trial report in Clinical transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk of poor sleep due to pharmacotherapy and co-morbidities, but sleep problems are often unrecognized and untreated. Study aims were to measure rates of occurrence, characteristics, and correlates of poor sleep in recipients. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and sleep parameters measured by wrist actigraphy were obtained at baseline from 143 kidney, liver, heart, lung, or pancreas transplant recipients enrolled in a psychosocial intervention trial to improve symptoms and quality of life. Rates of poor sleep were determined using accepted clinical cutoffs; 41% (58 of 143) were poor sleepers (PSQI > 8) and 36% used sleep medications in the past month. Fifteen percent reported having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and 4% reported restless legs syndrome (RLS). Based on actigraphy (n = 73), 69% lacked sleep efficiency (SE), 32% took >30 min to fall asleep, 88% awakened during the night for more than 30 min, and 25% slept less than six h per night. Obesity and use of psychotropics or sleep medications, and pain were independent risk factors for poor objectively measured sleep. Poor sleep is an undertreated problem in transplantation. Screening for sleep problems and behavioral therapies with sleep hygiene instruction may benefit recipients.
