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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveInsomnia is a common problem in older persons and is associated with poor prognosis from a functional or clinical perspective. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of insomnia and identify comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) based clinical factors associated with insomnia in elderly hospitalized patients.

methodsStandardized face-to-face interviews were conducted and CGA data were collected from 356 Chinese hospitalized patients aged 60 years or older. Insomnia was defined as self-reported sleep poor quality according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-Ⅴ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the association between patient clinical factors together with domains within the CGA and insomnia.

resultsAmong the 365 patients, insomnia was found in 48.31% of the participants. Difficulty in initiating sleep (DIS), early morning awakening (EMA), difficulty in maintaining sleep (DMS), and snoring were found in 33.99%, 9.55%, 13.48%, and 1.69% of patients, respectively. Significant associations were found between insomnia and several covariates: female gender (

conclusionsOur study revealed that female sex, depression, and chronic pain were independently predictors of insomnia in hospitalized patients. Early identification of elderly patients with these risk factors using the CGA may improve the quality of life and treatment outcomes.
