The risk of insomnia after surgical operation: A longitudinal, population-based, case-crossover study.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2022. 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
backgroundThe acute onset of insomnia following surgical operations has long been neglected, and long-term outcomes are not clear. Our aims were (1) to evaluate the risk of postoperative insomnia, (2) to identify which surgeries are related, and (3) to follow patients with postoperative insomnia for the development of major mental and physical disorders.
methodsWe conducted a case-crossover study comprising 9898 participants with new-onset insomnia from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database between 1997 and 2011. We determined the odds of having surgery in the case period (30 days) before the onset of insomnia by logistic regression analysis. Types of surgery that postoperative insomniacs had undergone were compared with age-/gender-/timing-matched controls. Longitudinal follow-up of postoperative and non-postoperative insomniacs was performed.
resultsThe odds ratio of surgical exposure vs. nonexposure within 30 days was 12.05 (p < 0.001) before new-onset insomnia. Surgery of musculoskeletal and nervous systems predisposed to insomnia. The duration of hypnotic drug use (0.83 years) was shorter and with a nearly 2-fold faster remission rate in postoperative than in non-postoperative insomniacs (1.45 years). Approximately 25% of each insomnia group developed persistent sleep disturbance.
conclusionSurgery is associated with subsequent insomnia, which has a shorter duration and a faster remission than non-postoperative insomnia. Our data provide a reference for postoperative care, and warrant future studies.
