Evaluation of sleep strategies between night shifts in actual shift workers.
Observational study in Sleep health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThe aim of this observational study was to examine sleep obtained between consecutive night shifts from shift workers in their natural environment. The goal was to identify the various sleep strategies and the timing, duration, regularity, and quality of sleep associated with the strategies.
methodsParticipants (N = 33, 23 women, aged 40 ± 15years) reported their sleep information in daily diaries over 2weeks while working at least one series of consecutive night shifts. Sleep timing, duration, quality, and regularity were calculated for each sleep episode between consecutive night shifts.
resultsBased on the reported sleep behavior, shift workers were categorized as either morning, delayed, split- or mixed sleepers. We found significant differences between the groups in timing of sleep, feeling refreshed, and regularity of sleep between consecutive night shifts, whereas duration and subjective soundness of sleep did not show significant differences.
conclusionsIn this sample, four sleep strategies were observed between consecutive night shifts in actual shift workers. These observations may help design future interventions to improve sleep that are individualized to the worker.
