Association of sleep quality with insulin resistance in obese or overweight subjects.
Article in Sleep science (Sao Paulo, Brazil). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionObesity or overweight are two factors associated with insulin resistance (IR). There are limited studies with regard to the role of some non-traditional factors such as sleep quality in level of IR in obese individuals. The current study aimed at investigating the association of sleep quality with IR in overweight or obese people. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 612 obese or overweight participants of the Qazvin metabolic disease study (QMDS) were evaluated. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and compared between two groups of participants with and without IR.
resultsOur findings showed that the total score of sleep quality in the IR group was significantly lower than that in the non-insulin resistant group (8.78±2.78 vs. 8.13±2.70, p=0.008). After adjustment, each unit increase of the sleep latency and subjective sleep quality scores was associated with a 1.23 and 1.33 times increased risk of IR, respectively (p<0.05).
conclusionIn the obese or overweight people, sleep quality is associated with IR.
