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

backgroundDue to rising rates of morbidity and mortality associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), Saudi Arabia is ranked second in the Middle East and seventh overall among nations with the greatest incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM). Significant sleep abnormalities have been linked to difficulties in managing blood sugar levels, suggesting a link between sleep disorders and diabetes. This study aimed to find out how common sleep disturbances were among patients with T2DM in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2022 in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia. Patients with T2DM who visited primary healthcare facilities in Makkah during the study's duration were included in the study. To evaluate sleep quality, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in Arabic was employed. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were given an interview questionnaire to fill out.

resultsIn total, 355 patients with T2DM were enrolled in this study. The patients' median age was 49.24 years. Other than DM, a majority of them (58.9%) had chronic illnesses, with hypertension (64.5%) and cardiovascular disease (65.5%) as the most prevalent comorbidities. Only 22% of the patients had controlled diabetes. Of the individuals who had sleep disorders, 63.7% stated having poor sleep quality.

conclusionSleep problems are a common occurrence in patients with T2DM. Additionally, compared to people with other chronic disorders, people with endocrine diseases had poorer sleep quality. Hence, the duration of diabetes has an impact on sleep quality.
