Sleep disorder diagnoses and clinical outcomes among hospitalized breast cancer patients: a nationwide inpatient sample study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 3 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
purposeSleep disturbances are recognized as a problem for many cancer patients, but little is known about the prevalence of sleep disorders among women hospitalized with breast cancer, or their relationship to in-hospital outcomes. The present study represents a first step toward determining the clinical significance of sleep disorders for hospitalized breast cancer patients with regard to complications, length of hospital stay, and mortality.
methodsThe relationships between sleep disorders and in-hospital outcomes among 84,424 hospitalized breast cancer patients were examined. This study analyzed the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2007 to 2011) for all women ages 40 years and older with a primary discharge diagnosis of breast cancer and a secondary discharge diagnosis of sleep disorder. Odds ratios, estimates, and 95% confidence intervals were computed using multivariable regression adjusting for age, comorbidities, race, cancer stage, income, insurance type, residential region, year of discharge, and surgical treatment type.
resultsAmong women hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of breast cancer, 2% (n = 1807) also received a diagnosis of a sleep disorder during hospitalization, the majority of which were sleep-related breathing disorders (n = 1274). Although there was no significant association between having a diagnosis of a sleep disorder and in-hospital mortality, patients with a sleep disorder were more likely to also experience complications (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.29-1.34) and have longer hospital stays (mean = 0.44 days longer, 95% CI 0.25-0.63).
conclusionHospitalized breast cancer patients with a sleep disorder were more likely to experience clinical complications and stay longer in the hospital. It remains an open and important question for future research whether interventions to improve sleep during hospitalization would help to improve clinical outcomes.
