Quality of sleep among patients diagnosed with tuberculosis-a cross-sectional study.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTuberculosis (TB) can affect sleep and can predispose patients to chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, sleep deprivation and diabetes mellitus can worsen tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to assess sleep quality, to estimate the prevalence of poor sleepers and those at risk for restless legs syndrome (RLS) and to evaluate the knowledge and practices regarding sleep hygiene among patients diagnosed with TB.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study, a semi-structured questionnaire was administered to patients diagnosed with TB in Bengaluru, India. The questionnaire was comprised of sections including demography, knowledge and practice regarding sleep hygiene, the international restless leg study group consensus diagnostic criteria to diagnose RLS, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, the Epworth sleepiness scale, and history of adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
resultsOf 206 participants enrolled, 125 men (61%), mean (SD) age was 41.0 (16.2) years, and 121 (59%) had pulmonary TB while the remaining 85 (41%) had extrapulmonary TB. The prevalence (95% confidence intervals) of poor quality sleepers was 17% (12, 23%), those with poor knowledge of sleep hygiene (< 6 marks) 33% (27, 40%), those at risk for RLS 32% (26, 39%), and those with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) 12% (8, 17%).
conclusionPrevalence of poor quality sleepers and those at risk for RLS are higher than normal population, thus making sleep quality assessment important in patients diagnosed with TB. Prevalence of those at risk for EDS was comparable to normal population.
