Investigating Sleep Disturbance and Its Correlates Among Formerly Homeless Adults in Permanent Supportive Housing.
Article in Medical care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAdults experiencing homelessness have a high burden of sleep disturbance, which may be reduced by accessing permanent supportive housing.
objectivesTo assess sleep disturbances and their correlates, including demographics, activity level, health status, age-related health issues (eg, functionality and cognitive impairment), substance use, and homelessness history in a sample of permanent supportive housing (PSH) tenants. RESEARCH
designCross-sectional survey design. SUBJECTS: A total of 237 formerly homeless adults between 45 and 80 years old. MEASURES: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sleep Disturbance short form was used to measure sleep disturbance.
resultsTwenty-eight percent of our sample had PROMIS scores indicative of a moderate or severe sleep disturbance. Functional impairment, pain, and mental health comorbidities were associated with increased sleep disturbance in multivariable linear regression analyses. The number of years a person experienced homelessness was inversely associated with sleep disturbance.
conclusionsThis study supports the need to screen for sleep disturbances among PSH tenants. The findings suggest that supportive services in PSH may need to include integrated physical and behavioral health care, pain management, and interventions designed to address activities of daily livings to improve tenant sleep. They also suggest that improved sleep may help reduce PSH tenant pain, impairment, and mental health symptoms among PSH tenants.
