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
purposeSleep disturbance is one of the most prevalent health issues among community-dwelling older adults. This systematic review aims to assess the prevalence of sleep disturbances among these adults living in the community and identify associated risk factors.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases. We screened studies focusing on the prevalence of sleep disturbances in community-dwelling older adults (≥ 60 years). A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled prevalence of sleep disturbances. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted to investigate sources of heterogeneity, and funnel plots were used to assess publication bias.
resultsOur systematic review included 41 articles, encompassing a total sample of 71,607 participants from 13 countries. The pooled prevalence of sleep disturbances, measured by PSQI, was found to be 45% (95% CI: 40-50%). Notably, the prevalence of sleep disturbances was significantly higher among individuals aged 70 years and older (48%) compared to those aged 60 years and older (41%). Common risk factors for sleep disturbances included depression, advanced age, females, chronic diseases (hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and poor external support (poor social support and poor family relationships).
conclusionThe findings highlight the necessity for comprehensive assessments and management strategies targeting this population with depression, advanced age, females, hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and poor external support while also underscoring the significance of healthcare planners and policymakers in enhancing sleep quality for older adults.
