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

objectiveThe association between sleep duration, caffeine intake, and bone mineral density (BMD) is not well understood, with previous studies providing controversial results. This study explores the associations among caffeine intake, sleep duration, and BMD.

methodsData were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018, including 13,457 participants who self-reported sleep duration and caffeine intake, with BMD measured via dual X-ray absorptiometry. Multivariable linear regression models, adjusted for confounders, were used alongside restricted cubic splines to examine dose-response association.

resultsOf all participants, 6821 (50.7%) were males and 6636 were females (49.3%). The mean caffeine intake and sleep duration were 93.4 mg/day and 7.19 h, respectively. RCS results showed that BMD increased with the increase in caffeine intake, especially in the low dose range of 0-200 mg/day. The dose-response association between sleep duration and BMD showed that sleep durations of 0-6 h may promote the increase of BMD, but after sleep durations greater than 6 h, BMD decreases. After adjustment for potential confounders, compared to the lowest referent quartile, individuals with caffeine intake in quartiles 2, 3, and 4 had a positive correlation with BMD (0.62 95% CI: 0.24-1.37; 0.51 95% CI: 0.22-1.13; 0.75 95% CI: 0.41-1.46; P for trend < 0.05). In covariate-adjusted linear regression models, compared with those sleeping 6 h or less per night, the difference in BMD among those sleeping 6-7 h, 7-8 h, and 8-14.5 h per night were 1.81 (95% CI: 0.4122.71), 1.25 (95% CI: 0.55-2.93), and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.38-1.69). Associations of caffeine intake, sleep duration, and BMD stratified by sex and age failed to reach statistical significance.

conclusionsAssociation might exist between the consumption of caffeine, sleep duration, and BMD; however, when stratified by sex and age, the association did not reach statistical significance.
