Clinical and video-polysomnographic characterization of restless sleep disorder in adult patients.

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
Adults with restless sleep disorder (RSD) have never been studied clinically and polysomnographically. This study aimed to describe the clinical manifestation, duration, and distribution of sleep-related movements in adult patients with restless sleep disorder. Patients who had performed VPSG from Jan 2021 to Jan 2022 and met the diagnosis criteria of RSD were enrolled in the study. Patients' bed partners were also interviewed or telephoned in identifying this disorder. Scoring of movements during sleep was according to the diagnosis criteria of RSD and scoring of large muscle group movements during sleep proposed by the International RLS Study Group in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The clinical manifestation, the distribution of sleep stage as well as the types and duration of the movements were carefully recorded and analyzed. We included ten patients in the study with a mean age of 27.6 years (range 22-38). There was a male prevalence in adults with RSD. The study highlighted the findings from video-polysomnography, which indicated frequent sleep-related movements occurring throughout the Night. These movements were most prominent during N1 and N2 sleep stage, followed by REM sleep, while fewer movements were observed during N3 sleep. Adults with RSD experienced significant daytime functioning impairments, including non-refreshing sleep, daytime fatigue/sleepiness, and mood disturbance. Two of the patients in the study were diagnosed with anxiety and depression, further underscoring the impact of RSD on mental health. Adult patients also suffer from severe RSD, and the RSD that originates in childhood tends to persist into adulthood. In these cases, longer duration of the disease and poor sleep quality may be associated with an increased risk of developing psychiatric comorbidities. Our cases represent an objectively documented type of RSD in younger adult patients.
