Psychosocial Factors Associated with Sleep Quality and Duration Among Older Adults with Chronic Pain.
Article in Population health management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 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
Sleep complaints are common among older adults with chronic pain. Because of the risk of significant side effects, sleep medications are not recommended as first-line treatments. Little is known about the association between positive psychosocial factors and sleep, but further awareness could support non-drug strategies to minimize poor sleep. The purpose of this study was to (1) determine the prevalence of self-reported poor sleep quality and short/long sleep duration in a population of older adults with chronic pain, and (2) examine the associations of negative risk factors, sleep-inducing medications, and positive psychosocial characteristics on sleep outcomes in this population. This study analyzed survey responses from 4201 adults ages ≥65 years with diagnosed back pain, osteoarthritis, and/or rheumatoid arthritis, and at least 1 year of continuous medical and drug plan enrollment. The most commonly reported sleep outcome was short sleep duration (39%), followed by poor sleep quality (22%), and long sleep duration (9%). Based on pharmaceutical claims, prescriptions for opioids (59%) or benzodiazepines (22%) were common. Perceived stress, depression, and pain or sleep prescription medications were independently associated with poor sleep quality and short or long sleep durations. The positive psychosocial factors of higher resilience and more diverse social networks were independently associated with good sleep quality and optimal sleep duration. These results underscore the importance of social and coping factors to sleep, which may provide new opportunities to improve sleep and well-being in older adults with chronic pain.
