Self-reported Sleep Duration and Subclinical Atherosclerosis in a General Population of Japanese Men.
Trial report in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
aimThere are few data regarding associations between sleep duration and subclinical atherosclerosis in Japan. The aim of this study was to evaluate associations of self-reported sleep duration with calcification in the coronary arteries (CAC) and carotid intima media thickness (IMT) in Japanese men.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional survey of 1093 randomly selected men from Kusatsu City, Japan. Average sleep duration on weekdays was estimated through questionnaire; CAC by computed tomography; and carotid IMT by ultrasonography.
resultsThe prevalence of CAC was 50.0% for participants with sleep duration ＜5.5 h, 43.9% with 5.5-6.4 h, 50.0% with 6.5-7.4 h, 49.3% with 7.5-8.4 h, and 62.5% with ≥8.5 h. In univariate analysis, participants with sleep duration ≥8.5 h had significantly higher prevalence of CAC than those with 6.5-7.4 h (p=0.043). After adjustment for age and other risk factors, however, the association was not significant (p=0.776). The average IMT was 0.85 mm for participants with sleep duration ＜5.5 h, 0.83 mm with 5.5-6.4 h, 0.85 mm with 6.5-7.4 h, 0.88 mm with 7.5-8.4 h, and 0.90 mm with ≥8.5 h. None of the differences in IMT observed in crude or multivariable-adjusted analyses was significant (all p＞0.1).
conclusionSelf-reported sleep duration was not associated with increased CAC or carotid IMT in a general population of Japanese men.
