Relationship between sleep quality and dietary nutrients in rural elderly individuals: a latent class analysis.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: This study sought to identify sleep patterns in older adults residing in rural regions, as well as investigate the potential influence of dietary nutrient intake on these patterns. Methods: Data were collected from a cross-sectional sample of Qingdao Town, Shandong Province, China. The study investigated 1,167 elderly participants using a general questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the simplified Food Frequency Questionnaire, and 24-h dietary recall methods. Latent profile analysis and binary logistic regression were applied for data analysis. Results: Two sleep categories were identified as "Quick falling asleep, long time, high efficiency group," Class 1(89.1%) and "Difficult falling asleep, short time, low efficiency group," Class 2(10.9%). In comparison to Class 1, individuals in Class 2 exhibited a higher likelihood of experiencing difficulties in falling asleep quickly and having poor sleep efficiency when consuming less than 50 g/d of potatoes (OR = 1.863, Conclusion: Our analysis identified two distinct sleep quality patterns among elderly individuals in rural areas. The sleep quality of rural elderly individuals is influenced by their dietary habits. The findings demonstrated a positive association between enhanced sleep quality and higher intake of dairy products, potatoes, and foods containing retinol and protein. Therefore, we propose increased consumption of these nutritional sources for the elderly population.
