Osteoarthritis is positively associated with self-reported sleep trouble in older adults.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability in older adults. Most research has focused on minimizing pain and maximizing physical function so as to maintain patient mobility preceding joint arthroplasty. However, few studies have formally studied the relationship between OA and sleep trouble, although it is clinically recognized that OA may affect sleep.
methodsThe study was based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2011-2018. Participants were defined as adults aged 60 years or older with diagnoses of OA and self-reported sleep trouble. Multivariable regression analyses were applied to assess the association between OA and sleep trouble, adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, race/ethnicity, education level, marital status, income, depression level, etc.
resultsThis study included 4154 participants, consisting of the control group (n = 2966) and the OA group (n = 1188). OA individuals were 2.11 (95% CI 1.79-2.47, p < 0.001) times more likely to have sleep trouble compared with those without OA. On subgroup analyses, there was lower odds ratio value of sleep trouble in men compared with women, and in the highest income group compared with the other income groups.
conclusionsOA was positively associated with sleep trouble in older adults, with different odds ratio values among different subgroups. Our results suggest that older adults with OA should be aggressively screened for sleep problems.
