Comparison of actigraphy indices among patients with depression and schizophrenia: A preliminary study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
backgroundSchizophrenia (SCZ) and depression (MDD) are associated with changes in sleep and activity patterns. However, because of a lack of objective evaluation, the diagnostic or clinical value of these sleep-activity patterns is unknown. In this study, we attempted to assess and compare the sleep and activity patterns using actigraphy. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe have recruited 35 patients with SCZ (mean age: 29.29 ± 7.54 years) and 42 patients with MDD (mean age: 27.5 ± 5.59 years) in this cross-sectional study. The actigraphy indices [Time in bed (minutes), Onset latency (minutes), Total sleep time (Minutes), Sleep efficiency (%), WASO (minutes), number of awakening, and activity duration (minutes) were compared among the two groups using unpaired
resultsIn the MDD group, the time in bed (minutes) was significantly higher than in the SCZ group (402.7 ± 41.97 vs. 379.1 ± 40.45,
conclusionActigraphy parameters such as sleep efficiency and time in bed may be a useful sleep process, etiological, and prognostic markers in patients with SCZ and MDD. The longitudinal studies are needed to estimate the predictive role of these parameters for therapeutic outcome in these patients.
