Factors involved in sleep efficiency: a population-based study of community-dwelling elderly persons.
Article in Sleep, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
STUDY
objectivesResearch indicates that sleep efficiency below 80% substantially increases mortality risk in elderly persons. The aim of this study was to identify factors that would best predict poor sleep efficiency in the elderly, and to determine whether associations between these factors and sleep efficiency were similar for men and women and for younger and older elderly persons.
methodsA total of 2468 individuals aged 65-96 years (40.7% men) participated. They were recruited via random generation of telephone numbers according to a geographic sampling strategy. The participants agreed to have health professionals visit their home and to answer structured interview questions. Sleep efficiency was calculated based on interview responses. Descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were conducted.
resultsThe factors most strongly associated with sleep efficiency below 80% were pain, nocturia, sleep medication use, and awakening from bad dreams. Some factors varied by sex: women aged 75 years and older or who had an anxiety disorder were more likely to have sleep efficiency below 80%, whereas being single or having painful illness raised the likelihood for men only. Except for sex, all the factors that showed associations with sleep efficiency affected younger and older elderly persons similarly.
conclusionsPoor sleep efficiency is prevalent among elderly persons. The results shed new light on factors associated with poor sleep efficiency, highlighting the presence of sex differences and that certain factors make no significant contribution, such as typically proscribed sleep hygiene behaviors, mood disorders, and illness in general.
