Prospective Study of Sleep Talking and Risk of Stroke.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe potential clinical implication of sleep talking in relation to stroke has not been explored to date. This study aimed to prospectively examine the association between sleep talking and the risk of developing stroke in a community-based cohort. METHODS AND
resultsIncluded were 8001 participants (mean age, 54 years) of the Kailuan Study, China. Sleep talking was measured by a questionnaire in 2012. Cases of incident stroke were confirmed by review of medical records. Cox proportional hazards models were used to explore the association between sleep talking and stroke, adjusting for several sleep parameters (ie, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, sleep duration, snoring, and use of hypnotics) and other potential confounders. During 8 years of follow-up, 333 incident stroke cases were identified. Relative to participants without sleep talking at baseline, those with sleep talking had a higher risk of developing stroke (hazard ratio [HR], 1.30 [95% CI, 1.03-1.65]), adjusting for potential confounders. Compared with participants without probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and sleep talking, those with sleep talking and probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder had a higher risk of stroke (adjusted HR, 1.93 [95% CI, 1.40-2.66]).
conclusionsThe presence of sleep talking was associated with a higher risk of developing stroke. Future studies with cases of clinically confirmed sleep talking and a longer follow-up would be appropriate to further investigate this association.
