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

objectiveTo describe the change in sleep duration during inpatient rehabilitation and to determine if sleep quality and sleep duration is associated with functional disability for individuals after stroke. It was hypothesized that participants who experienced optimal sleep during inpatient rehabilitation would have greater functional ability at discharge.

designLongitudinal observation study.

settingInpatient rehabilitation unit at a large, urban hospital.

participantsThirty-seven individuals with acute stroke (N=37; mean age, 62.5±11.8y, male=20, female=17) were recruited from September 2018 to September 2019. Participants were invited to participate in the study by clinical personnel associated with their usual care as they were admitted to inpatient rehabilitation.

interventionsNot applicable.

main outcome measuresParticipants were asked to wear an actigraph for the duration of their rehabilitation program to assess sleep. The first 3 nights of actigraphy data were averaged to obtain total sleep time (TST) and sleep efficiency (SE) at admission, and the last 3 nights were averaged for TST and SE at discharge. Functional disability (primary outcome was FIM) at admission and discharge was gathered from the participants' medical records. One-way analysis of variance and chi-square analyses assessed for group differences, and regression modeling was used to determine if sleep was associated with functional ability at discharge.

resultsSixteen participants (43%) were categorized as "good sleepers" and 21 (57%) were "poor sleepers" based on their TST at admission. Of the poor sleepers, 14 participants (66%) remained short duration sleepers (<7h at admission and discharge). Sleep outcomes did not significantly predict FIM score at discharge.

conclusionsMost participants had less than optimal sleep duration during inpatient rehabilitation. Efforts may be warranted to optimize sleep during inpatient rehabilitation.
