Association between pain, sleep and intrinsic capacity in Chinese older adults: Evidence from CHARLS.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
objectivesTo examine the relationship between pain, sleep, and intrinsic capacity (IC).
designA cohort study. SETTING AND
participantsData were obtained from participants in China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2011-2015. The study population consisted of older adults who completed assessments on pain, sleep duration, sleep quality and IC at baseline. MEASUREMENTS: Pain, sleep duration, and sleep quality were assessed through self-reports from participants. The total IC score was derived from five domains: psychological, sensory, cognitive, locomotor, and vitality. The relationships between pain, sleep duration, sleep quality and IC were analyzed using linear mixed models. The relationship between sleep duration and IC was analyzed using quadratic analysis. Stratified analyses by gender and age were also performed.
resultsA total of 3517 participants were included in the analysis. After adjusting for all covariates, single-site pain (β = -0.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.38 to -0.20) and multisite pain (β = -0.41, 95% CI = -0.48 to -0.34) were significantly associated with a decrease in IC compared with older adults without pain; long sleep duration (β = -0.15, 95% CI = -0.24 to -0.06) was significantly associated with a decrease in IC compared with older adults with moderate sleep duration; and poor sleep quality (β = -0.63, 95% CI = -0.71 to -0.55) and fair sleep quality (β = -0.33, 95% CI = -0.40 to -0.27) were significantly associated with a decrease in IC compared with older adults with good sleep quality.
conclusionTo maintain IC, it is important to ensure approximately 7.5 h of sleep duration, improve sleep quality, and manage pain. Interventions should begin as early as possible.
