Objective Assessment of Sleep Patterns among Night-Shift Workers: A Scoping Review.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
In this scoping review of the literature, we identified the types and the parameters of objective measurements to assess sleep patterns among night-shift workers. We conducted a literature search using electronic databases for studies published from 1991 to 2020 and charted and summarized key information. We included 32 studies in the review. Polysomnography was used in 6 studies and wearable sleep detection devices were utilized in 26 studies. The duration of sleep assessment using the wearable devices ranged from 1 day to ≥4 weeks, and more than half of the studies collected data for >2 weeks. The majority of the studies used subjective questionnaires, such as the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, in addition to objective sleep measurements. Total sleep time was the most common parameter, followed by sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, and time or frequency of being awake. As the utilization of wearable devices to assess the sleep patterns of night-shift workers is expected to increase, further evaluation of device accuracy and precision, optimal data collection period, and key parameters is warranted.
