Sex Differences in Subjective Sleep Quality Patterns in Schizophrenia.
Article in Behavioral sleep medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
OBJECTIVE/
backgroundSleep dysfunction is prevalent among patients with schizophrenia. Although sex differences have been identified in schizophrenia, sex differences in sleep patterns among patients with schizophrenia are not established. Therefore, the current study examined sex differences in subjective sleep quality patterns in people with schizophrenia utilizing a standardized inventory.
participantsStudy sample consisted of 75 patients with schizophrenia and 82 healthy controls (HC).
methodsParticipants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
resultsCompared to HC, patients with schizophrenia were more likely to report being poor sleepers (PSQI global score > 5), longer sleep duration, more sleep disturbances, longer sleep onset latency, increased daytime dysfunction due to poor sleep, and more frequent use of sleep medications. Regarding sex differences, female patients were more likely to report being poor sleepers and endorsed more sleep disturbances than female HC, while male patients reported longer sleep duration, more daytime dysfunction, and poorer overall sleep quality relative to male HC. Additionally, higher level of sleep dysfunction was linked to higher symptom severity in male patients only.
conclusionsPatients with schizophrenia endorsed a range of sleep difficulties, and male and female patients with schizophrenia differ compared to their HC counterparts. Implications for treatment of sleep complaints among patients with schizophrenia are discussed.
