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

STUDY

objectivesSleep and fatigue difficulties appear to be highly prevalent among individuals with end-stage renal disease and individuals who have received a kidney transplant. While there is some evidence of biopsychosocial factors predicting sleep disturbance in these populations, previous studies have relied on single time point retrospective measurements.

methodsThe study utilized a 2-week prospective measurement approach, including one night of polysomnographic measurement, nightly sleep diaries, and self-report measures of health, sleep, and mood.

resultsThe current study demonstrates that a number of psychological and behavioral factors, including negative mood, quality of life, napping, and caffeine consumption, are related to sleep disturbance among pre- and post-kidney transplant patients. This study also found that many of these factors have different relationships with sleep disturbance when comparing pre- and post-kidney transplant patients.

conclusionsThese results suggest that such factors may be worthwhile areas for intervention in treating the symptoms of insomnia among pre- and post-transplant recipients. A nuanced approach to understanding sleep problems is likely warranted when conceptualizing insomnia and developing a treatment plan.
