Prospective study of sleep duration and glioma risk.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 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
purposeBoth long and short sleep duration have been linked with risk of some cancers, but evidence for glioma is lacking.
methodsUsing prospective data from the UK Biobank (UKB), the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS), we examined the association between self-reported hours of sleep and incident glioma in multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.
resultsIn the UKB, compared to 7 h, sleep durations of < 7 h (HR = 0.90; 95% CI 0.70-1.16) or > 7 h (HR = 1.05; 95% CI 0.85-1.30) were not significantly associated with glioma risk. Likewise, no significant associations were found between sleep duration and glioma risk in the NHS/HPFS for either < 7 h (HR = 0.93; 95% CI 0.69-1.26) or > 7 h (HR = 1.22; 95% CI 0.94-1.57), compared to 7 h. Results were similar for low-grade and high-grade glioma, did not materially change after lagging 2 years, or after accounting for factors known to disrupt sleep.
conclusionSleep duration was not associated with incident glioma in either the UKB or the NHS/HPFS cohorts.
