Sleep Disturbances Predict Cognitive Decline in Cognitively Healthy Adults.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe effect of nighttime behaviors on cognition has not been studied independently from other neuropsychiatric symptoms.
objectiveWe evaluate the following hypotheses that sleep disturbances bring increased risk of earlier cognitive impairment, and more importantly that the effect of sleep disturbances is independent from other neuropsychiatric symptoms that may herald dementia.
methodsWe used the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center database to evaluate the relationship between Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) determined nighttime behaviors which served as surrogate for sleep disturbances and cognitive impairment. Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores defined two groups: conversion from 1) normal to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 2) MCI to dementia. The effect of nighttime behaviors at initial visit and covariates of age, sex, education, race, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPI-Q), on conversion risk were analyzed using Cox regression.
resultsNighttime behaviors predicted earlier conversion time from normal cognition to MCI (hazard ratio (HR): 1.09; 95% CI: [1.00, 1.48], p = 0.048) but were not associated with MCI to dementia conversion (HR: 1.01; [0.92, 1.10], p = 0.856). In both groups, older age, female sex, lower education, and neuropsychiatric burden increased conversion risk.
conclusionOur findings suggest that sleep disturbances predict earlier cognitive decline independently from other neuropsychiatric symptoms that may herald dementia.
