Sex differences in the role of sleep on cognition in older adults.
Article in Sleep advances : a journal of the Sleep Research Society, 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
Study Objectives: The study aimed to investigate sex differences in the relationship between sleep quality (self-report and objective) and cognitive function across three domains (executive function, verbal memory, and attention) in older adults. Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from 207 participants with normal cognition (NC) or mild cognitive impairment (89 males and 118 females) aged over 60 years. The relationship between sleep quality and cognitive performance was estimated using generalized additive models. Objective sleep was measured with the GT9X Link ActiGraph, and self-reported sleep was measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: We found that females exhibited lower executive function with increased objective total sleep time, with a steeper decline in performance after 400 minutes ( Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the association between sleep parameters on cognition varies between older males and females, with executive function being most strongly associated with objective sleep for both sexes top of form. Interventions targeting sleep quality to mitigate cognitive decline in older adults may need to be tailored according to sex, with distinct approaches for males and females.
