Actigraphy-based sleep characteristics and aortic stiffness: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

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
The study aimed to examine the association between objective estimates of sleep duration and quality and aortic stiffness while accounting for the potential confounding effect of sleep-disordered breathing. Participants were part of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Sleep study. Sleep duration and quality were assessed by 7-day wrist actigraphy, sleep-disordered breathing by home polysomnography, and aortic stiffness by magnetic resonance imaging-based aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), ascending and descending aorta distensibility. Aortic stiffness of participants with "normal" sleep duration (6-8 hours) were compared with those of "short" (<6 hours) and "long" sleep duration (>8 hours) adjusting for common cardiovascular risk factors and apnea-hypopnea index. The sample consisted of 908 participants (mean age 68.4 ± 9.1 years, 55.3% female). There was a significant linear trend of increased aPWV across short (n = 252), normal (n = 552), and long sleep durations (n = 104) (P for trend = .008). Multivariable analysis showed that people with short sleep duration had 0.94 m/s lower aPWV (95% CI: -1.54, -0.35), compared with those with normal sleep duration. In this ethnically diverse community cohort, habitual short sleep duration as estimated by actigraphy was associated with lower aortic stiffness.
