The impact of sleep disturbances on treatment efficacy and prognosis in patients with depressive and anxiety disorders.

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
Introduction: Little was known about the relationship between sleep disturbances and depressive and anxiety disorders, as well as the efficacy of treatment regimens. Methods: During 2021 to 2023, a total of 417 participants were screened by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA-14) for psychological status, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) assessment. 409 participants were finally enrolled, of which 188 (45.97%) were suffered from sleep disorders. All participants were received polysomnography (PSG) followed by six-week pharmacological treatment of escitalopram and zopiclone, and finally assessed by HAMD-17 and HAMA-14 for treatment efficacy. Result: PSG monitoring indicated that participants with depression experienced prolonged rapid eye movement sleep latency (REMSL) and increased wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO) (P=0.030 and P=0.002, respectively). Those with anxiety disorders demonstrated a significantly higher percentage of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM%) and reduced WASO (P=0.013 and P=0.001, respectively). After six-weeks pharmacological treatment, participants with or without sleep disorders exhibited with similar efficacy outcomes of depression and anxiety disorders (P>0.05). However, every point of PSQI increment at baseline would decrease 0.78 and 0.85 times of probability of effective pharmacological treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Moreover, participants with both effective outcomes of depression and anxiety disorders were found significant shorter sleep onset latency (SOL) (P<0.001). Discussion: The insights gained underscore the necessity of considering sleep disturbances in enhancing the overall effectiveness of pharmacological treatments for depression and anxiety disorders.
