Daily partner responsiveness and everyday sleep outcomes in breast cancer survivors and their partners.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeBreast cancer (BC) survivors and their intimate partners face several adverse consequences from the cancer experience, including sleep disturbance, which is a common side effect of BC and its treatment. Sleep has been conceptualized and examined as an individual phenomenon despite most adults sharing a bed/room with a partner. Limited research has examined the associations between daily relationship processes and sleep in couples coping with cancer. Using an intensive longitudinal design, the present study examined the daily, within-person links between attempted and perceived partner responsiveness and subjective sleep.
methodsImmediately following adjuvant treatment, 72 early-stage BC survivors and their intimate partners (144 paired individuals) reported on daily attempted and perceived partner responsiveness each evening and subjective sleep each morning for 21 consecutive days.
resultsSurvivor and partner reports of partner responsiveness were associated with their own subjective sleep, such that greater attempted and perceived partner responsiveness were associated with improvements in one's own subjective sleep. Effects of one participant's partner responsiveness on their partner's sleep were not observed.
conclusionsFindings suggest that among couples coping with early-stage BC, increased partner responsiveness is associated with subsequent improvements in subjective sleep. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Sleep disturbance is a serious concern for BC survivors and their intimate partners. Future research should assess intimacy processes as a potential method to improve BC survivor and partner sleep.
