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

Purpose: Difficulty falling or staying asleep are considered sleep disorders, and these are common among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The presence of sleep disorders may cause poor glycemic control among this population. We therefore designed this study to assess sleep disorders among patients with T2DM and obesity. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study examined the prevalence of sleep disorders in 148 patients with T2DM and obesity at a hospital in Taif, Saudi Arabia using a validated questionnaire. Results: Among those patients who have been involved in this study, we found a moderate level of sleep disorders and disturbances. The average sleep disorder assessment score for the patients with T2DM and obesity was 2.8 ± 1.4. Additionally, the average score for the sleep pattern assessment was 2.7 ± 1.3 and 2.9 ± 1.5 for symptoms of lack of sleep. Our study also revealed that those patients also had suboptimal weight and glycemic control. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that patients with T2DM and obesity are at a higher risk of developing sleep disorders. Therefore, these patients need to be screened for sleep disorders to avoid further diabetes-related complications and to have an early lifestyle intervention.
