Relationship Between Sleep Disturbances and Chronic Pain: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinics and practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07498491 (A Single-Arm Pilot Study Investigating Weighted Blanket Use for Chronic Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 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.

Abstract
Sleep disturbances and chronic pain are prevalent and interrelated conditions that have significant impact on individuals' quality of life. Understanding the intricate dynamics between sleep and pain is crucial for developing effective treatments that enhance the well-being of affected individuals and reduce the economic burden of these debilitating conditions. This narrative review examines the complex relationship between sleep disturbances and chronic pain. We describe the prevalence and types of sleep disturbances and sleep disorders in chronic pain patients. Posteriorly, we critically review the clinical and experimental evidence, investigating the relationship between sleep disturbances and chronic pain, aiming to clarify the impact of chronic pain on sleep and, conversely, the impact of sleep disturbances on pain perception. In conclusion, the literature largely agrees on the existence of a bidirectional relationship between chronic pain and sleep disturbances, though the strength of each direction in this association remains uncertain. Current evidence suggests that sleep impairment more strongly predicts pain than pain does sleep impairment. Additionally, addressing sleep disturbances in chronic pain patients is crucial, as poor sleep has been linked to higher levels of disability, depression, and pain-related catastrophizing.
