Accelerometer-derived sleep measures in idiopathic dystonia: A UK Biobank cohort study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSleep disturbance is an increasingly recognized non-motor trait in dystonia, with varying findings reported to date. Here, we examine sleep in a UK Biobank derived dystonia cohort using subjective self-reported sleep symptoms and objective accelerometer-derived sleep measures, with comparison to a control population.
methodsA total of 241 dystonia cases were compared to 964 matched controls in analysis of self-reported sleep symptoms and changes in sleep architecture using wrist-worn triaxial accelerometers.
resultsDystonia participants had poorer self-reported sleep patterns compared to controls. Accelerometery measurements demonstrated later sleep times, reduced time in bed, and shifts in circadian rhythm. No association was observed with pain, and only limited relationships with psychiatric symptoms. DISCUSSION: This study demonstrates the utility of accelerometers in longer term evaluation of sleep in dystonia, for measurement of disturbance and response to treatment. Compared to controls, altered sleep and circadian rhythm were more common in dystonia patients which may contribute to the clinical phenotype.
