Association between waist circumference and sleep disorder in the elderly: Based on the NHANES 2005-2018.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The existing data do not consistently support the link between elderly adults' waist circumferences and sleep disorders. This study aimed to evaluate whether waist circumference was connected with sleep disorder in the elderly. This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) regarding waist circumference, sleep disorders, and confounding factors. Included in the study were participants older than 60 who completed sleep questionnaires and waist circumference measurements. Using a multivariate logistic regression model and subgroup analyses, the relationship between waist circumference and sleep disorder was evaluated. To explore the non-linear relationship, restricted cubic spline (RCS) with three knots coupled with a logistic regression model to assess the dose-response relationship between waist circumference (continuous variables) and sleep disorder. A total of 2,545 (Weighted 14,682,916.3) elderly participants with complete information were included in the analysis and 312 (Weighted 1,777,137.8) subjects met the definition of sleep disorder. Compared with participants without sleep disorder, those with sleep disorder had a higher waist circumference (100.80 cm vs. 108.96 cm, P< 0.001). The results of the multivariable adjusted logistic regression model suggested that those in quartiles 4 (≥ 75th percentile) for their waist circumference had higher odds of sleep disorder [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.66-4.54, P < 0.001] compared with those in quartile 1. The RCS result showed that the OR of sleep disorder and waist circumference displayed a linear relationship (P <0.001, Non-linear P = 0.642). Age and gender subgroup analysis revealed comparable relationships between waist circumference and sleep disorder among elderly individuals. Waist circumference was associated with sleep disorders in the elderly. There was a dose-response relationship between waist circumference and the likelihood of sleep disorder. Those with a larger waist circumference were more likely to have a sleep disorder than those with a smaller waist circumference.
