The Combined Effect Between Sleep Disorders and Depression Symptoms on Chronic Low Back Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study of NHANES.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Purpose: To explore the combined effects of sleep disorders and depression on chronic low back pain (CLBP) in American adults. Material and methods: In this cross-sectional study, the data of all participants were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NAHNES) between 2009 and 2010. CLBP was defined as persistent LBP for a consecutive three-month period. Sleep disorders were self-reported and were diagnosed by a doctor before. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess depressive symptoms by trained personnel. Potential covariates were selected using weighted univariate logistic regression models. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the separate and combined effects of sleep disorders and depression on CLBP, respectively. Results were presented as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Associations were further explored in the subgroups of age, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and having pain outside the low back. Results: A total of 5275 participants were included. Among them, 542 (10.28%) had CLBP. The mean age of all participants was 47.19 (0.53), and 50.65% (n=2668) were female. Sleep disorder (OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.17-1.98) or depressive symptoms (OR=3.06, 95% CI: 2.41-3.88) were associated with higher odds of CLBP. Compared to participants without sleep disorders and depression symptoms, participants in both conditions had an increased risk of CLBP (OR=3.95, 95% CI: 2.58-6.05, P for trend <0.001). The combined effects of sleep disorders and depressive symptoms were also found in the population aged <45 years, ≥45 years, with and without CKD, with and without diabetes, and no pain outside the low back. Conclusion: Sleep disorders and depressive symptoms may increase the odds of reporting CLBP. Further research is necessary to explore the effectiveness of multidisciplinary interventions targeting sleep disorders, depressive symptoms, and CLBP.
