The impact of sleep quality on the incidence of PTSD: Results from a 7-Year, Nationally Representative, Prospective Cohort of U.S. Military Veterans.

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
Sleep and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have a complex relationship, with some studies showing that disrupted sleep is associated with subsequent development of PTSD. The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between sleep quality and the development of probable PTSD in U.S. veterans surveyed as part of the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study, a 7-year, nationally representative, prospective cohort study with four waves of data collection. Sociodemographic, military, trauma, and clinical variables were entered into a multivariate analysis to examine independent determinants of new-onset PTSD. A total of 142 (7.3 %) veterans developed PTSD over the 7-year study period. Poor/fair sleep quality at Wave 1 was associated with 60 % greater likelihood of developing PTSD, with more than twice as many veterans who developed PTSD reporting poor sleep quality at Wave 1 (47.8 % vs. 20.7 %). Younger age, using the VA as a primary source of healthcare, greater traumas since Wave, and lifetime depression were additionally associated with this outcome. Results of this study underscore the importance of self-reported sleep quality as a potential risk factor for the development of PTSD in the U.S. veteran population.
