Association between sleep duration and stroke prevalence in Korean adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 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
objectivesAlthough sleep, chronic disease and its related mortality are extensively studied areas, the association between stroke and sleep duration is relatively unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between long and short sleep duration and stroke prevalence.
designA cross-sectional survey study. SETTING AND
participantsAdult surveyees (aged ≥19 years) who answered items relating to sleep duration and stroke in the 2010-2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Surveys (n=17 601). OUTCOME MEASURES: Participants were divided into three groups by sleep duration (short: ≤6 hours/day, normal: 7-8 hours/day and long: ≥9 hours/day). Stroke prevalence in each sleep duration group was compared using logistic regression analysis, and sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, lifestyle habits and mental health factors were set as confounding variables.
resultsOn adjusting for sex and age, each sleep-duration group displayed significantly different health-related characteristics. The short sleep and long sleep duration groups indicated significantly higher psychological factors for stress perception, depressive symptoms and psychiatric counselling compared with the normal sleep duration group. On adjustment of various confounders, the long sleep duration group demonstrated significantly higher ORs for stroke compared with the normal sleep duration group (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.06 to 3.61). Also, when stratified by sex, men did not exhibit differences in stroke prevalence by sleep duration, but women showed higher stroke prevalence in the long sleep duration group compared with normal sleep duration (OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.21 to 7.17).
conclusionsLonger sleep duration was associated with higher stroke prevalence, and this trend was more pronounced in women.
