1 · What the graph read from 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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo explore whether poor sleep is associated with post-stroke anxiety (PSA) in Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and to verify whether poor sleep is a predictor of PSA.

methodsA total of 327 patients with AIS were enrolled and followed up for 1 month. Sleep quality within 1 month before stroke was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at admission. The patients were divided into the poor sleep group (PSQI > 7, n = 76) and good sleep group (PSQI ≤ 7, n = 251). One month after stroke, patients with obvious anxiety symptoms and a Hamilton Anxiety Scale score >7 were diagnosed with PSA.

resultsEighty-seven patients (26.6%) were diagnosed with PSA. Compared to the good sleep quality group, the incidence of PSA in patients with poor sleep quality was higher (42.1% vs. 21.9%, p = .001). Poor sleep quality is more common in patients with PSA (35.6% vs. 18.8%, p = .001). A logistic regression analysis indicated that poor sleep quality was significantly associated with PSA (OR: 2.265, 95% CI: 1.262-4.067, p = .003). After adjusting for conventional and identified risk factors, poor sleep quality was found to be independently associated with PSA (OR: 2.676, 95% CI: 1.451-4.936, p = .001).

conclusionsPoor sleep quality before stroke was associated with PSA and may be an independent risk factor of PSA 1 month after AIS onset.
