Self-report and actigraphy measures of sleep and domain-specific cognitive performance in older adults.
Article in GeroScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Poor sleep is associated with worse cognitive function in older adults. However, nuanced associations between sleep and cognition might be masked by the multidimensional nature of sleep which requires multiple approaches (e.g., self-report and actigraphy) to gain meaningful insight. We investigated associations of sleep with cognition and hypothesized that the most consistent association would be between self-reported sleep duration and actigraphy-measured wake after sleep onset (WASO). We utilized baseline data from the Investigating Gains in Neurocognition in an Intervention Trial of Exercise study. Cognitively unimpaired older adults (n=589, aged 65-80) completed a comprehensive cognitive assessment with generation of five domain-specific cognitive composite scores. Sleep was measured via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and 24-h actigraphy (GT9X Link). Greater actigraphy WASO and shorter self-reported sleep duration were associated with poorer performance in all five cognitive domains (β
