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 & Aims: Asthma is a chronic disorder affecting health-related quality of life. This study aimed to explore differences in sleep quality based on individual characteristics, such as smoking habits and asthma. Methods: This cross-sectional study included Saudi citizens aged ≥18 years. A questionnaire was used to collect information regarding demographics, sleep quality, smoking history, and physical activity. Results: We included 489 participants (male, 58%), divided into three main groups for analysis: (1) individuals with asthma (n=52), smokers (n=104), and controls (n=333). In total, 71.15% (n=37) of individuals with asthma and 64.4% (n=67) of the smokers had sleep difficulties. Furthermore, 61.5% (n=32) of individuals with asthma and 56.7% (n=59) of smokers were found to be insufficiently active. Additionally, 15.4% (n=8) of individuals with asthma and 15.4% of smokers (n=16) were moderately active. Finally, 23.1% (n=12) of individuals with asthma and 27.9% (n=29) of smokers were active. The questionnaire also revealed that 57.7% (n=282) of respondents had poor sleep quality, with a significantly higher rate among individuals with asthma (71.15%; n=37; mean ± SD: 10 ± 3.57) compared to that among non-asthmatics (50%; n=245; mean ± SD: 6.58 ± 3.61; Conclusion: Asthma has a significant impact on sleep quality and physical activity levels. Poor sleep quality adversely affects the quality of life, suggesting that increased public awareness of these risk factors is crucial.
