1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Although prior studies have examined associations of personality traits with sleep, most have investigated self-reported sleep, been cross-sectional, and focused on younger and middle-aged adults. We investigated associations of personality with actigraphic sleep parameters and changes in sleep in 398 cognitively normal adults aged 40-95 years (M ± SD = 70.1 ± 12.0) in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Participants completed the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) and 6.61 days +/-1.01 nights of wrist actigraphy at the same study visit. Participants with wrist actigraphy at multiple study visits had actigraphy data at 3.11 ± 1.52 visits (follow-up = 2.35 ± 0.70 years). Adjusting for age, sex, race, education, depressive symptoms, comorbidities and interactions of these variables with time, greater extraversion was associated with higher sleep efficiency. After further adjustment for BMI, sleep medication use, and sleep apnea symptoms, greater extraversion was associated with shorter total sleep time, and greater openness was associated with shorter average wake bout length. We observed numerous interactions of personality with sex and age, with stronger personality-sleep associations generally present at younger ages (i.e., aged 50-60 vs. 70-80) and sex differences in associations. Middle-aged and older adults higher in extraversion and lower in openness may be more vulnerable to poor sleep and may benefit from screening for sleep disturbances.
