Sleep disturbances in orthopaedic trauma patients.
Article in OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
objectivesTo determine the prevalence of sleep disturbances in orthopaedic trauma patients 3 months following surgery and to identify any subset(s) of patients at high risk for prolonged sleep disturbance.
designProspective cohort.
settingLevel 1 Trauma Center. PATIENT/
participantsAll patients at an orthopaedic trauma clinic from May 3, 2016 to Feb 23, 2017. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Baseline patient Pittsburgh Sleep Questionnaire (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores compared to PSQI and ISI scores 3-months postoperatively. Both gender and age stratified data analyses were performed.
resultsSixty-six patients met our inclusion criteria and completed both baseline and 3-month surveys. There were 44 males and 22 females. There was a significant increase in PSQI and ISI scores from baseline to 3 months across all patients. Further analysis revealed significant increases from baseline to 3 months in both PSQI and ISI scores for female patients but not male patients. There was a significant difference from baseline to 3 months in patients 50 years old and under but not for patients above 50 years old. No patients required revision surgery in the first 3 months.
conclusionsMore than half of all patients reported continued sleep disturbance 3 months postoperatively. Females are at particularly increased risk for sleep disturbance. These findings demonstrate that sleep disturbances merit attention in the early stages of the postoperative recovery process. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level II.
