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

STUDY

objectivesA 2021 survey by the World Health Organization showed that 27% of the global population experiences sleep problems and that middle-aged and older adults are more likely to have sleep disorders. Sleep deprivation increases cardiovascular disease risk. This study aimed to assess the effects of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, combined training, and yoga on the quality of sleep in middle-aged and older adults through their effects on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and its components. Direct and indirect comparisons were used to determine which exercise modality most effectively improves sleep quality in middle-aged and older adults.

methodsThis study conducted a systematic review and frequency network meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, combined training, and yoga with a control group on sleep quality in middle-aged and older adults.

resultsWe included 28 studies involving 3,460 participants. According to the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) curve results, aerobic exercise was the most effective in improving total PSQI score (SUCRA = 93.2%), sleep latency (SUCRA = 96.8%), and sleep medication use (SUCRA = 77.1%). In addition, yoga was the most effective in improving sleep disorders (SUCRA = 90.4%), sleep efficiency (SUCRA = 95.9%), sleep duration (SUCRA = 93.8%), and daytime dysfunction (SUCRA = 98.3%).

conclusionsAerobic exercise is the most effective exercise modality for improving PSQI total score in middle-aged and older adults.
