Effect of sleep quality on wound healing among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy: an observational study.
Observational study in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesWe aimed to study the association between sleep quality, total sleep duration, and wound healing among adult patients who had good sleep quality at the time of admission to the hospital who underwent laparotomy for various reasons.
methodsIn this observational study, consecutive adult patients undergoing emergency laparotomy were followed up until the eighth postoperative day. The primary outcome (wound healing) was assessed using the Southampton Wound Grading System. Sleep quality (assessed by the single-item sleep quality scale) was the primary predictor. Pain was assessed using a visual analog pain scale. We studied the effect of postoperative sleep quality on wound healing on postoperative day 8. Secondary analyses assessed the effect of total sleep time, severity of pain, and markers of systemic inflammation on wound healing.
resultsIn this study 110 participants were included. The average age of participants was 41.7 ± 16.2 years. On postoperative day 8, 34.5% rated their sleep quality as "poor to fair" and the rest as "good." Postoperative poor sleep quality was associated with impaired wound healing, starting from the third postoperative day (
conclusionsPoor sleep quality during the healing phase is associated with wound complications, a surrogate marker of impaired wound healing.
