1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 and Aims: Postoperative sleep disturbances are associated with delayed recovery and increased incidences of complications. This systematic review aims to determine the impact of perioperative pharmacological therapies on postoperative sleep quality in the hospital. Material and Methods: We searched MEDLINE, MEDLINE ePubs and In-Process Citations (Daily), Embase Classic + Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and PubMed for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to May 2022, with continued literature surveillance until August 2023. Studies included consisted of noncardiac surgical patients aged ≥18 years with postoperative sleep in the hospital. The primary outcome was improvement in postoperative sleep outcomes such as sleep quality, duration, efficiency, architecture, and insomnia ratings after pharmacological treatment. Additional outcomes included postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption. Results: The search strategy yielded 21 studies ( Conclusions: Evidence for the effects of perioperative pharmacological approaches on postoperative sleep are limited. High-quality RCTs of adequate power and methodology on the effects of pharmacology interventions on postoperative sleep are warranted.
