Sleep-enhancing nursing interventions in hospital wards: A systematic review.
Synthesis in International nursing review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
aimTo identify sleep-promoting nursing interventions in hospitalized adults and older people.
backgroundSleep is necessary for maintaining good physical and mental health, as well as a high quality of life. Hospitalization can significantly disrupt sleep patterns, which is an often-overlooked issue. Nurses are the main participants in promoting sleep in hospitalized patients.
methodsSystematic literature review based on the question: "What interventions can nurses implement to promote sleep in hospitalized adults and older people?". The research was conducted on April 4, 2023, in CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science, filtering the articles published in the last 10 years. For a study to be included, it must feature adult or older participants, an intervention that aims to enhance sleep, and the research should have been conducted within a hospital setting. We followed the PRISMA flow diagram and analyzed the quality of the articles according to the Joanna Briggs Institute criteria for quality assessment. The results were subjected to a narrative synthesis. RESULTS OR
findingsOf the 712 articles found, 13 were selected. The sample encompasses 1975 participants. These selected articles emphasize educational and communicative interventions, dietary and sensory interventions, symptomatic and environmental control, daily activity planning, sleep assessment and documentation, and individualized nursing care. DISCUSSION: There is a need for a systematic approach incorporating physical, psychosocial, and relational dimensions within the care context.
conclusionIt is necessary to raise the nurses' awareness of the factors that affect sleep experience and empower them to promote sleep in partnership with hospitalized patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: Sleep interventions can be promoted by implementing hospital policies, including environmental modifications in the design and refurbishment of facilities and restricting nighttime patient transfers to reduce noise and disturbances. Encouraging research studies that explore the effectiveness of these interventions will further support the development of evidence-based policies aimed at improving sleep quality in hospitalized patients.
