Ecologically Assessed Sleep Duration and Arterial Stiffness in Healthy Men and Women.
Article in Psychosomatic medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveAmong younger adults, to determine the associations of actigraph- and self-reported sleep duration with arterial stiffness (AS) assessed in clinic and in ecologically valid contexts, and to examine sex-specific associations.
methodsHealthy adults ( n = 282, median age = 29 years, 67% women) completed a state-of-the-art assessment of AS at rest (SphygmoCor; carotid femoral pulse wave velocity [cfPWV]; central augmentation index [cAIx]) and 7 days of actigraphy-assessed sleep with concurrent, momentary cAIx assessment for 36 hours (Oscar-2). Multivariable regressions were conducted on the full sample and sex-stratified to examine cross-sectional linear and quadratic associations of average sleep duration with resting PWV and cAIx, average cAIx while awake and asleep, and nocturnal cAIx dipping, adjusted for demographic and health covariates. Exploratory analyses included self-reported sleep duration with AS, and actigraphy and self-reported sleep duration with the ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI; Oscar-2).
resultsOverall and by sex, associations of average sleep duration with resting cfPWV, resting cAIx, and awake cAIx were not significant. Sleep duration showed a positive, linear association with sleep cAIx in women (95% confidence interval =1.07 to 5.86, Δ R2 = 0.021). Among women, sleep duration was also inversely associated with cAIx dipping (95% confidence interval = -4.48 to -0.95, Δ R2 = 0.020). Analyses with self-reported sleep duration and AASI as alternate predictors and outcomes were not significant.
conclusionsCertain sleep duration-AS associations may be sex-specific. Assessing sleep and momentary AS in ecologically valid conditions outside the research laboratory is valuable to understand these relations. Although this investigation should be replicated, findings raise the question of whether interventions to target sleep duration also reduce AS.
