1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo examine the relationship between caregiver sleep impairment and/or service member/veteran (SMV) adjustment post-traumatic brain injury, with caregiver health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

methodsCaregivers (n = 283) completed 18 measures of HRQOL, sleep impairment, and SMV adjustment. Caregivers were classified into 4 sleep impairment/SMV adjustment groups: 1) Good Sleep/Good Adjustment (n = 43), 2) Good Sleep/Poor Adjustment (n = 39), 3) Poor Sleep/Good Adjustment (n = 55), and 4) Poor Sleep/Poor Adjustment (n = 146).

resultsThe Poor Sleep/Poor Adjustment group reported significantly worse scores on most HRQOL measures and a higher prevalence of clinically elevated T-scores (≥ 60T) on the majority of comparisons compared to the other 3 groups. The Good Sleep/Poor Adjustment and Poor Sleep/Good Adjustment groups reported worse scores on the majority of the HRQOL measures and a higher prevalence of clinically elevated scores on 7 comparisons compared to the Good Sleep/Good Adjustment group. Fewer differences were found between the Good Sleep/Poor Adjustment and Poor Sleep/Good Adjustment groups. The Poor Sleep/Poor Adjustment group reported a higher prevalence of severe ratings for SMV Irritability, Anger, and Aggression compared to the Good Sleep/Poor Adjustment group.

conclusionsWhile the presence of either caregiver sleep impairment or poor SMV adjustment singularly was associated with worse caregiver HRQOL, the presence of both sleep impairment and poor SMV adjustment was associated with further impairment in HRQOL. Caregivers could benefit from sleep intervention. Treatment of SMVs neurobehavioral problems may improve the SMV's recovery and lessen sleep problems, distress, and burden among their caregivers.
