Impact of family care on sleep quality in perimenopausal women: mediating roles of anxiety and depression.
Article in BMC women's health, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between family care, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in perimenopausal women. Furthermore, it also aimed to examine the role of anxiety and depression in mediating family care and sleep quality. The study findings aim to provide theoretical support for alleviating anxiety and depression levels and improving sleep quality in perimenopausal women.
methodsPerimenopausal women (n = 860) in Gansu Province were surveyed using the self-rating scale of sleep, self-rating anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale, and family adaptation partnership growth affection resolve.
resultsThe sleep quality, anxiety, and depression scores of the perimenopausal women in Gansu Province were 25.33 ± 5.00, 40.74 ± 10.89, and 40.77 ± 10.03, respectively, and the family care score was 6.64 ± 2.36. Family care was negatively correlated with sleep quality, anxiety, and depression scores; anxiety was positively correlated with depression and sleep quality scores, and depression was positively correlated with sleep quality scores. Anxiety and depression in perimenopausal women partially mediated family care and sleep quality, with mediating effects accounting for 15.74% and 60.69% of the total effect, respectively.
conclusionAnxiety and depression are mediating variables between family care and sleep quality in perimenopausal women. It is recommended that hospital and community staff pay attention to the role of good family care in perimenopausal women, actively implement intervention strategies aimed at reducing anxiety and depression pathways, and improve their sleep quality.
