Feasibility and Acceptability of Using Wireless Limited Polysomnography to Capture Sleep Before, During, and After Hospitalization for Patients With Planned Cardiothoracic Surgery.

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 disruption, a common symptom among patients requiring cardiovascular surgery, is a potential risk factor for the development of postoperative delirium. Postoperative delirium is a disorder of acute disturbances in cognition associated with prolonged hospitalization, cognitive decline, and mortality.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using polysomnography (PSG) to capture sleep in patients with scheduled cardiothoracic surgery.
methodsWireless limited PSG assessed sleep at baseline (presurgery at home), postoperatively in the intensive care unit, and at home post hospital discharge. Primary outcomes were quality and completeness of PSG signals, and acceptability by participants and nursing staff.
resultsAmong 15 patients, PSG data were of high quality, and mean percentage of unscorable data was 5.5% ± 11.1%, 3.7% ± 5.4%, and 3.7% ± 8.4% for baseline, intensive care unit, and posthospitalization measurements, respectively. Nurses and patients found the PSG monitor acceptable.
conclusionsWireless, limited PSG to capture sleep across the surgical continuum was feasible, and data were of high quality. Authors of future studies will evaluate associations of sleep indices and development of postoperative delirium in this high-risk population.
