What are the important risk factors for excessive daytime sleepiness in a population-based cohort?
Article in Journal of sleep research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common complaint in the general population and is associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality. We aimed to investigate whether sleep duration is related to excessive daytime sleepiness in the general population, both in itself and in combination with other factors. We performed a cross-sectional analysis in the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) cohort (n = 27,976; 14,436 females; aged 50-64 years) to assess how sleep-related factors along with anthropometric, lifestyle, socioeconomic factors as well as somatic disease and psychological distress, were related with EDS assessed by the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). Analyses were performed using logistic regression modelling with EDS defined by an ESS score of ≥11 as the main outcome. Both short and long sleep duration were related to EDS with increasing ORs for decreasing sleep duration (7 h vs. reference (8 h): OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.02-1.3 to ≤4 h: 1.9; 1.4-2.5). In addition to sleep-related factors such as insomnia (1.3; 1.2-1.4), poor sleep quality (1.2; 1.04-1.4), snoring (1.5; 1.4-1.6), and nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux (1.5; 1.21-1.8), psychological distress showed a strong association with EDS. This included sadness/depression (1.2; 1.1-1.3), stress (some stress: 1.4; 1.1-1.7 to constant stress over 5 years: 1.7; 1.3-2.2), and self-rated "control in life" (lowest quartile: 1.7; 1.6-2.0). Daytime sleepiness is multifactorial and associated with both sleep duration and sleep quality. Strong associations were also established with factors related to psychological distress. Further research may investigate interventions targeting both sleep and psychological health to reduce daytime sleepiness at the societal level.
