Association Between Alcohol Use Patterns and Insomnia Symptoms or Poor Sleep Quality Among Adult Women: An Internet Cross-Sectional Survey in Japan.
Article in Clocks & sleep, 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
It is unclear whether patterns of alcohol consumption are associated with sleep disturbance. We aimed to investigate the relationship between comprehensive alcohol-related factors and insomnia symptoms, as well as sleep quality, among adult women in Japan. Responses to an online cross-sectional survey were gathered from 12,000 women. The survey items included demographic characteristics, alcohol consumption (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, nightcaps, years of drinking), sleep-related factors (sleep duration, insomnia symptoms, sleep quality), lifestyle-related factors, and mental health. Binary logistic regression was used to investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and both insomnia symptoms and sleep quality. A total of 10,233 women were included in the final analysis. The results revealed that several alcohol-related behaviors, including the consumption of nightcaps and years of drinking, were significantly associated with insomnia symptoms and poor sleep quality. Specifically, nightcaps were significantly associated with all types of insomnia symptoms and poor sleep quality, with a higher odds ratio than other alcohol-related items. Our findings suggest that specific alcohol-related behaviors, particularly the consumption of nightcaps, are associated with insomnia symptoms and poor sleep quality among women. Intervention programs for alcohol consumption should be provided to prevent sleep problems among women.
