Associations of sleep quality and exercise frequency and the risk of coronary heart disease in Chinese urban elderly: a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data.
Article in BMC public health, 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 quality and exercise frequency are closely associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). Few studies focused on the joint effect of initiating sleep, sleep disorders, and exercise frequency on the risk of CHD in the elderly. We used a secondary data analysis based on Boshan Elderly cross-sectional study. We explored the sleep quality, exercise frequency, and their joint effects on the risk of CHD.
methodsWe collected 678 participants whose age ≥ 60 years old from Boshan District Hospital. We used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to evaluate the sleep quality and obtained physical examination information from the hospital.
resultsCompared with the non-CHD group, patients with CHD spent more time in initiating sleep (time ≥ 60 min, 34.59% vs. 22.93%, P = 0.025) and less time exercising (exercise frequency < 1 times/week, 23.90% vs. 17.15%, P = 0.024). In multiple logistic regression analysis, sleep latency ≥ 60 min was associated with CHD risk (adjusted OR = 1.83; 95% CI: 1.11, 2.99; P-trend = 0.008). The adjusted OR (95% CI) of CHD was 2.24 (1.16, 4.34) for sleep duration < 5 h versus 5-9 h. Compared with exercise frequency < 1 times/week, the adjusted OR for exercise frequency ≥ 1 times/week was 0.46 (95% CI: 0.26, 0.83; P = 0.010). In addition, the joint effects of long sleep latency (≥ 60 min) and sleep disorders were associated with CHD (adjusted OR = 3.36; 95% CI: 1.41, 8.02). The joint effect of exercise frequency ≥ 1 times/week and sleep onset latency within normal limits (< 30 min) was also associated with CHD, and the adjusted OR (95% CI) was 0.42 (0.21, 0.87).
conclusionsLong sleep latency, high frequency of initiating sleep difficulty, sleep disorders, and short sleep duration were positively associated with CHD. In addition, the joint effects of long sleep latency and sleep disorders were positively correlated with CHD incidence. However, the joint effects of exercise frequency ≥ 1 times/week and normal sleep onset latency were negatively associated CHD.
