Review in Sleep medicine clinics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07768033 (THE EFFECT OF CHAIR-ASSISTED YOGA PRACTICE ON SLEEP QUALITY AND PAIN LEVELS IN ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN NURSING HOMES), which is not on this map. Cited by 336 papers, 10 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Sleep patterns change with aging, independent of other factors, and include advanced sleep timing, shortened nocturnal sleep duration, increased frequency of daytime naps, increased number of nocturnal awakenings and time spent awake during the night, and decreased slow wave sleep. Most of these changes seem to occur between young and middle adulthood; sleep parameters remain largely unchanged among healthy older adults. The circadian system and sleep homeostatic mechanisms become less robust with normal aging. The amount and pattern of sleep-related hormone secretion change as well. The causes of sleep disturbances in older adults are multifactorial.
