The Prevalence and Associated Factors of Short Sleep Duration Among Nurses in Tertiary Public Hospitals in China: Findings from a National Survey.
Article in Risk management and healthcare policy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundSleep is an essential component of health and well-being. Short sleep duration may negatively affect nurses' health and patients' safety.
objectiveTo investigate the sleep duration and subjective satisfaction with sleep duration among nurses in tertiary public hospitals in China and to explore the associated factors.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between December 18 and 31, 2017 in 136 major public hospitals from 31 provinces in mainland China. An online anonymous questionnaire was delivered through WeChat. Totally 27,575 nurses completed the survey.
resultsThe response rate was 95.46%. The mean reported total sleep duration was 6.67±0.97 hours per day. About 46.87% (n=12,924) reported having short sleep duration (SSD, less than 7 hours per day), and 27.63% (n=7618) were not satisfied with their sleep duration. In the SSD group, 45.67% (n=5902) were dissatisfied with their sleep duration. SSD was significantly associated with sociodemographic factors, including an older age, having more than one child, being divorced or separated, and job-related factors, including longer working hours, more night shifts and heavy workload.
conclusionNearly half of the nurses in the public hospitals in China reported sleeping less than 7 hours, and more than one quarter were dissatisfied with their sleep duration. Interventions are needed to improve Chinese nurses' sleep, including reducing working hours, night shifts or workload.
