Decreased sleep quality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical rheumatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesTo obtain a reliable estimation on the sleep quality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and identify the main sleep problems, a meta-analysis was performed.
methodsUp to March 21, 2020, PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched; quality evaluation were conducted with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale; statistical analyses were performed by stata14.0 software; results were expressed by weighted mean difference or standardized mean difference (WMD/SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsEighteen case-control studies were included in meta-analysis, 1086 SLE patients and 2866 controls were collected. The score of sleep quality in the case group was higher than that in the control group (SMD = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.80-1.27), and so was the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (WMD = 3.45, 95% CI: 2.49-4.42). The first three complaints of sleep problems in PSQI were daytime dysfunction (WMD = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.36-0.92), subjective sleep quality (WMD = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.40-0.84), and habitual sleep efficiency (WMD = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.37-0.72). Subgroup analyses showed that the score of sleep quality in SLE patients were higher than controls among different regions, races, and disease duration. The sleep quality score of SLE patients with fibromyalgia (FM) was higher than that in general control, but no significant difference as compared with SLE patients without FM.
conclusionsOur meta-analysis indicates that the sleep quality of SLE patients is worse than that of the general population; thus, more attention should be paid to the sleep status among this disease. Key Points •The sleep quality of SLE patients is worse than that of the general population. •Region, race, and disease duration are correlated with sleep quality in SLE patients.
