Associations between sleep difficulties and health outcomes in treatment-seeking veterans.
Article in Occupational medicine (Oxford, England), 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 in UK Armed Forces personnel appears to be frequent due to factors such as hostile sleeping environments and can persist even once they have transitioned into civilian life. Despite this, there is currently very limited literature surrounding the prevalence and associated factors of insomnia disorder among UK veterans.
aimsThis study aimed to expand knowledge of the prevalence and associated demographic, military, health and functional outcomes with probable insomnia disorder within a clinical sample of veterans.
methodsTreatment-seeking veterans from a national UK mental health charity were invited to complete a questionnaire including socio-demographic, military, health and well-being questions.
resultsOf the sample, 489 (43%) completed the questionnaire. Seventy per cent of the sample reported having probable insomnia disorder. Having probable insomnia disorder was significantly associated with being younger and having physical health problems. Moreover, unadjusted models found associations between probable insomnia disorder and common mental health difficulties, obsessive-compulsive disorder and complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
conclusionsThe results suggest that many UK veterans with physical and mental health difficulties experience co-morbid insomnia disorder. Therefore, it is important that clinical services are aware of this prevalence and use targeted interventions to reduce the frequency of insomnia disorder in this population.
