Sleep Disturbances, Cognitive Status, and Biomarkers of Dementia.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundWhile sleep disturbances appear to be risk factors in Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, information such as the prevalence across dementia severity and the influence on the trajectory of cognitive decline is unclear.
objectiveWe evaluate the hypotheses that the prevalence of insomnia differs by cognitive impairment, that sleep disturbances track with AD biomarkers, and that longitudinal changes in sleep disorders affect cognition.
methodsWe used the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Database to determine the prevalence of clinician-identified insomnia and nighttime behaviors in normal, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and demented individuals. We evaluated mean Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, hippocampal volumes (HV), and CSF phosphorylated tau:amyloid-β ratios at first visit using analysis of variance with age as a covariate. In longitudinal evaluations, we assessed changes in MoCA scores and HV in insomnia and nighttime behaviors between the first and last visits.
resultsPrevalence of insomnia was 14%, 16%, and 11% for normal, MCI, and dementia groups. Prevalence of nighttime behaviors was 14%, 21%, and 29% respectively. Insomnia patients had higher MoCA scores, larger HV, and lower pTauBeta than individuals without insomnia, indicating less neurodegeneration. In contrast, nighttime behaviors were associated with worse cognition, smaller HV, and higher pTauBeta. Similar findings were seen between longitudinal associations of sleep disorders and cognition and HV.
conclusionOur findings suggest that insomnia is unreliably recognized in patients with cognitive impairment. Nighttime behaviors may better indicate the presence of sleep disturbances and have diagnostic specificity in AD over insomnia.
