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

objectiveA life-disrupting stressor (e.g. pandemic) may cause or exacerbate poor sleep health; resilience may offset impacts. We assessed relationships between pre-pandemic psychological resilience to trauma and sleep-related outcomes during the first year of the pandemic among current and former nurses.

methodsUsing data from 18,670 women in the Nurses' Health Study II, we characterized pre-pandemic resilience by cross-classifying experiences of higher versus lower lifetime trauma burden with unfavorable, adequate, and favorable psychological health (through January 2020). Sleep was measured before (2017) and during the pandemic, including: changes, quality, and duration. We modeled trajectories of sleep duration assessed at five time points (pre-pandemic in 2017, and then in four COVID-19-related surveys, 2020-2021) using latent class growth analysis.

resultsWe observed four trajectories of sleep duration, all showing stable patterns, with averages ranging from 5.5 to 6 to 8.5-9 h of sleep per 24 h. Women with higher trauma/unfavorable psychological health had the highest risk for all poor sleep outcomes (e.g., RR for being in the shortest sleep trajectory versus healthy sleep duration: 2.53; 95 % CI: 2.21, 2.91). Relative to women categorized as most resilient, only women with lower trauma/favorable psychological health showed lower risk of getting less sleep after the pandemic started compared to no change (RR: 0.76; 95 % CI: 0.70, 0.83). This same pattern was observed for poor sleep quality.

conclusionHigher pre-pandemic resilience may have protected women against poor sleep outcomes during the pandemic. Findings could have long-term health implications, particularly if they generalize to other stressors.
