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

purposePatients with lung cancer endure the most sleep problems. Understanding the prevalence and risk factors of sleep disturbances in lung cancer populations is critical in reducing symptom burden and improving their quality of life. This systematic review aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of sleep disturbances in patients with lung cancer.

methodsSeven electronic databases were systematically screened for studies on the prevalence or risk factors of sleep disturbances in patients with lung cancer. Subgroup analyses were conducted to investigate significant heterogeneity (I

resultsThirty-seven studies were found eligible. The pooled prevalence was 0.61 (95% CI = [0.54-0.67], I

conclusionResults showed that sleep disturbances were experienced in more than 60% of patients with lung cancer. The comparatively high prevalence of sleep disturbances in this population emphasizes the need to adopt measures to reduce them. Significant associations were found between sleep disturbances and various factors, including age, education level, fatigue, pain, cancer stage, anxiety, and depression. Among these factors, depression emerged as the most significant. Future research should concentrate on identifying high-risk individuals and tailored interdisciplinary interventions based on these risk factors.
