Effects of different sleep disorders on frailty in the elderly: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

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
STUDY
objectivesFrailty is frequently reported following sleep disorders; however, the extent to which sleep disorders influence frailty remains unclear. In the current study, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the quantitative effects of different sleep disorders on frailty in the elderly.
methodsWe conducted a systematic search of several databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus, to retrieve articles published from May 2009 to June 2021. The data outcomes are expressed as the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsEighteen studies were included, with 39669 participants. Older adults with sleep disorders were found to have a higher risk of frailty (pooled OR = 1.49, 95%CI = 1.35-1.64, p < 0.01). Specifically, daytime sleepiness (pooled OR = 1.69, 95%CI = 1.09-2.61, p < 0.01), short sleep duration (pooled OR = 1.36, 95%CI = 1.20-1.54, p = 0.45), long sleep duration (pooled OR = 1.99, 95%CI = 1.39-2.85, p = 0.02), sleep latency extension (pooled OR = 1.38, 95%CI = 1.19-1.60, p = 0.72), and sleep disordered breathing (pooled OR = 1.30, 95%CI = 1.11-1.53, p = 0.37) were correlated with frailty.
conclusionsThe risk of frailty differs between older adults with sleep disorders and controls, suggesting that the relationships between different sleep disorders and frailty vary. These results highlight the need to monitor sleep disorders of the elderly and conduct intervention to prevent or delay the frailty process.
