A Cross-Sectional Study on Neuropathic Pain Associated With Quality of Sleep in Spondylosis Patients.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionNeuropathic pain (NP) is common in spondylosis patients. Cervical and lumbar spondylosis are more common in the elderly population. Spondylosis patients also suffer from poor quality of sleep (QOS). This study aims to find a correlation between NP and QOS in spondylosis patients.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study and analyzed data using the chi-square test to correlate the NP with QOS. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs, Self-complete (S-LANSS) questionnaires were used to assess QOS and evaluate neuropathic pain, respectively. Spondylosis was diagnosed based on the history, clinical examination, and radiological findings.
resultsA total of 72 spondylosis patients, with a mean age of 47.35 years, were included in this study. Out of 72 subjects, 52 (72.2%) patients had neuropathic pain (NP group), and 20 (27.8%) patients had non-neuropathic pain (non-NP group). In the NP group, 41 patients (78.8%) had poor QOS, while 11 (21.2%) had good QOS. In the non-NP group, eight (40%) had poor QOS, and 12 (60%) had good QOS.
conclusionThis study concludes that neuropathic pain is associated with poor quality of sleep in spondylosis patients.
