Factors affecting sleep quality in hospitalised patients.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionHospitalised patients are at increased risk of poor sleep quality which can negatively impact on recovery and quality of life. This study aimed to assess sleep quality in hospitalised patients and explore the factors associated with poor sleep.
methodsProspective data were collected from 84 respiratory ward inpatients at time of discharge using a Likert scale questionnaire on contributing factors to sleep quality. Differences between groups reporting good and poor quality sleep were recorded.
resultsMost participants (77%) described inpatient sleep quality to be worse or much worse compared to their home environment. Noise (39%), checking of vital signs (33%) and light (24%) were most frequently identified as factors disrupting sleep. Binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that men (OR 2.8, CI 1.1-7.4, p = 0.037) and those in shared rooms (OR 3.9, CI 1.4-10.9, p = 0.009) were more likely to be affected by noise. Younger patients (OR 0.92, CI 0.88-0.96, p < 0.001) and those in shared rooms (OR 8.5 CI 1.9-37.9, p < 0.001) were more likely to be affected by light.
conclusionIn conclusion, a high proportion of hospitalised respiratory patients on a medical ward reported poorer sleep quality compared to home due to operational interruptions and noise. Age, gender and room type further modified the sleep disruption. Future research should focus on whether strategies to reduce interruptions and noise will improve sleep quality and clinical outcomes.
