Shorter sleep duration is associated with poorer glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients with untreated sleep-disordered breathing.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the impact of sleep duration on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients with untreated sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
methodsNinety type 2 diabetes patients participated in the study. SDB was diagnosed using an overnight in-home monitoring device (WatchPAT200). Sleep duration was recorded by wrist actigraphy for 7 days. Medical records were reviewed for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values.
resultsSeventy-one patients (78.8 %) were diagnosed with SDB [apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5]. In patients with SDB, there was no significant relationship between AHI and glycemic control. In addition, oxygen desaturation index, minimum oxygen saturation, and time spent below oxygen saturation of 90 % were not significantly correlated with glycemic control. Sleep duration, however, was inversely correlated with HbA1c (r = -0.264, p 0.026). Multiple regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, insulin use, diabetes duration, and AHI revealed that sleep duration was significantly associated with HbA1c (p = 0.005). Each hour reduction in sleep duration was associated with a 4.8 % increase in HbA1c of its original value (95 % CI 1.5-8.0).
conclusionIn type 2 diabetes patients with untreated SDB, shorter sleep duration was independently associated with poorer glycemic control. Sleep duration optimization may lead to improved glycemic control in this population.
