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

backgroundTo investigate the prevalence of sleep disorders in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) in comparison to healthy controls (HCs), we aim to explore the correlation between sleep disorders and fatigue, bladder dysfunction, mood disorders in PwMS.

methodsThis study involved 175 PwMS and 115 HCs. We conducted a self-administered survey using questionnaires (the authors' questionnaire, the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The neurological disability was determined using Expanded Disability Status Scale. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsAccording to AIS, insomnia was found in 20.6% of PwMS compared to 9.6% of HCs (

conclusionsInsomnia is prevalent among PwMS. Our study revealed independent predictors of sleep disturbances among PwMS: female gender, bladder disorders, and anxiety.
