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

Objective: To explore the relationship between sleep quality and mild cognitive impairment in older adult patients with multimorbidity. Methods: The general data of older adult patients with chronic diseases were collected, and the sleep quality and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) of older adult patients with multimorbidity were investigated by questionnaire. Logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) model were used to analyze the correlation between sleep quality and MCI in older adult patients with multimorbidity. Results: There are 902 valid samples in this study, of which 333 (36.9%) have MCI. The number of chronic diseases ranges from 2 to 6, and the number of types of medication ranges from 0 to 7. The score of PSQI is 2-18, with an average score of 11.13. MoCA score range is 7-30. The MoCA score of MCI patients is lower than that of Non-MCI patients. In all three models, PSQI score is significantly correlated with MCI. The results of the segmented regression analysis show that: the inflection point of MCI's PSQI scoring relationship is 12. RCS result display: with the increase of PSQI score, the OR increases between PSQI score and MCI, when PSQI score reaches 12, OR is significantly higher than 1. Conclusion: Sleep quality is an important influencing factor of MCI, and there is a threshold effect in the above association. According to this correlation, health professionals can take measures to improve the sleep quality of older adult patients with multimorbidity to reduce the occurrence of MCI.
