Tobacco use and incident sleep parameters among a rural ageing population in South Africa.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionTobacco use may be associated with incident insomnia. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between tobacco use and incident sleep parameters in a longitudinal study in South Africa.
methodsLongitudinal data from two consecutive waves of middle-aged and older adults in 2014-2015 (n=5059) and 2018-2019 (n=4176) in rural South Africa were analyzed. Tobacco use and sleep parameters were assessed by self-report. The associations between tobacco use and incident sleep parameters were estimated with multivariable logistic regression.
resultsThe prevalence of baseline sleep parameters was poor sleep quality 6.5%, sleep disturbance 13.6%, restless sleep 32.9%, and breathing stops 7.0%. In the fully adjusted model for people without poor sleep quality at baseline, daily tobacco smoking, smoking ≥10 units of tobacco products, current tobacco use and current smokeless tobacco use did not increase the odds of incident poor sleep quality. Smoking ≥10 units of tobacco products in a day (AOR=3.83; 95% CI: 1.77-8.28), current tobacco use (AOR=1.65; 95% CI: 1.09-2.51), and daily tobacco smoking (AOR=2.16; 95% CI: 1.15-4.07), were significantly positively associated with incident sleep disturbance. Furthermore, incident restless sleep was significantly positively associated with smoking ≥10 units of tobacco products in a day (AOR=3.97; 95% CI: 1.18-13.37), current smokeless tobacco use (AOR=2.78; 95% CI: 1.17-6.62) and current tobacco use (AOR=2.00; 95% CI: 1.00-4.00). Incident breathing stops were significantly positively associated with daily smoking tobacco (AOR=2.08; 95% CI: 1.11-3.34), smoking 1-9 units of tobacco products in a day (AOR=2.17; 95% CI: 1.20-3.94), and current tobacco use (AOR=1.77; 95% CI: 1.16-2.72).
conclusionsHigher tobacco use was independently associated with incident sleep disturbance, incident restless sleep, and incident breathing stops, but not with incident poor sleep quality.
