The influence of sleep disturbances and sleep disorders on pain outcomes among veterans: A systematic scoping review.
Article in Sleep medicine reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Chronic nonmalignant pain, sleep disturbances and sleep disorders are highly prevalent conditions among U.S. military veterans. Evidence summaries highlight the influence of sleep on pain outcomes in the general adult population but not for the military veteran population. This is a significant gap as U.S. military veterans are an exceedingly high-risk population for both chronic pain and sleep disturbances and/or disorders. We aimed to review the influence of sleep disturbances and sleep disorders on pain outcomes among veterans with chronic nonmalignant pain. A systematic scoping review was conducted using PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Twenty-six out of 1450 studies from initial search were included in this review resulting in a combined sample size of N = 923,434 participants. Sleep disturbances and sleep disorders were associated with worse pain outcomes among veterans with chronic pain. Treatment-induced sleep improvements ameliorated pain outcomes in veterans with sleep disorders and sleep disturbances. Research is indicated to address an overlooked pain treatment opportunity - that of sleep disturbance and sleep disorder management.
