Short sleep duration is associated with higher risk of central obesity in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

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
Background and Objective: The relationship between sleep duration and obesity has been the focus of numerous investigations. This systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies aimed to assess the relationship between sleep duration, abdominal obesity, and body composition. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched until February 2024. Cohort studies that assessed the relationship between sleep duration at night and central obesity measures or body composition indices in adults were included. The quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Random-effects meta-analysis was conducted on studies that reported risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Eighteen studies were eligible to be included. Eleven out of the 18 studies were not included in the analysis as 10 studies did not report RR, and in one study, the definition of short and normal sleep duration was different from others. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that short sleep duration was significantly associated with abdominal obesity (RR = 1.08; 95% CI: 1.04-1.12; Conclusions: Short sleep duration was associated with a slightly higher risk of central obesity, while long sleep duration was not.
