Implications of Long Sleep Duration on Cardiovascular Health: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sleep duration is an important determinant of cardiovascular health, yet the adverse effects of long sleep duration remain underexplored. While short sleep has well-documented associations with increased cardiovascular risk, emerging evidence highlights a U-shaped relationship, with excessive sleep also linked to adverse outcomes. This systematic review evaluates the association between prolonged sleep duration and cardiovascular health outcomes, including coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), hypertension, heart failure (HF), and atherosclerosis. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science identified 38 studies published between 2008 and 2024 that investigated the relationship between sleep duration and cardiovascular health. Prolonged sleep duration was consistently associated with increased risks of CAD, stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), hypertension, and MI. Elevated inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), emerged as potential mediators alongside demographic and lifestyle factors, including age, gender, and socioeconomic status. Long sleep duration may serve as a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Incorporating sleep assessments into cardiovascular risk evaluations could inform prevention strategies, and further research is needed to elucidate mechanisms and develop targeted interventions.
