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

backgroundSignificant insomnia symptoms can have important impacts on the health and quality of life of caregivers of persons with cognitive decline (PwCD).

objectiveTo characterize the prevalence of clinically significant insomnia symptoms using the recommended community cutoff for the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI; ≥10) and identify correlates of the presence of symptoms.

methodsEighty PwCD caregivers were recruited from a memory and aging care clinic in an academic medical center and completed all study procedures (M

resultsOne-third of PwCD caregivers reported clinically significant insomnia symptoms. Caregivers reporting these symptoms were more likely to report difficulty sleeping due to stressful/anxious thoughts about the PwCD compared to caregivers without insomnia symptoms (p < .001). No group differences were detected between caregivers with and without insomnia symptoms based on reported frequency of PwCD nighttime care needs or behaviors. Caregivers with insomnia symptoms endorsed significantly higher depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and caregiving psychological burden (ps < 0.001).

conclusionsPwCD stress and psychological burden, but not PwCD nighttime factors, appear to be associated with clinically significant insomnia symptoms among PwCD caregivers. Existing evidenced-based treatments for insomnia, such as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, may be effective in this cohort.
