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

Purpose: Idiopathic hypersomnia is a debilitating neurologic sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep inertia, and prolonged sleep. Its impact on patients' quality of life and daily functioning has not been fully elucidated. The Real World Idiopathic Hypersomnia Outcomes Study (ARISE) evaluated the daily functioning, relationships, cognition, emotional well-being, and productivity/employment of participants with idiopathic hypersomnia. Patients and Methods: ARISE was a US-based virtual cross-sectional survey comprising multiple patient-reported outcome measures (Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, short version [FOSQ-10], Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders [Neuro-QoL] Social Roles and Stigma domains, British Columbia Cognitive Complaints Inventory [BC-CCI], Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9], and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: Specific Health Problem [WPAI:SHP]). Participants were adults 21-65 years of age with idiopathic hypersomnia. Data were analyzed for all participants and for subgroups with/without long sleep time (LST; self-reported sleep ≥11 hours in 24 hours). Results: Of 75 participants enrolled, most were female (81.3%) and the mean (SD) age was 34.1 (10.7) years. Participants' scores on the FOSQ-10 (mean [SD] score: 10.7 [2.8]) and the Neuro-QoL Social Roles (43.4 [4.2]) and Stigma (57.3 [5.9]) domains reflected impairments in daily functioning and quality of life. More than half of participants reported moderate to severe cognitive complaints (BC-CCI; 62.7%) and moderate to severe depressive symptoms (PHQ-9; 66.7%). Scores on the WPAI:SHP showed substantial impairments in absenteeism, presenteeism, overall work productivity, and overall regular daily activity (mean percent [SD]: 12.3 [23.6], 47.6 [22.7], 51.4 [24.7], and 64.0 [21.9], respectively). These considerable impairments were found in participants with and without LST. Conclusion: ARISE participants with idiopathic hypersomnia demonstrated poor quality of life and impaired functioning across multiple symptom domains.
