Burden of sleep deprivation among healthcare professionals in India: The SNORE study.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: SNORE (Sleep deprivation among Night shift health staff On Rotation- Evaluation) was a hospital-based observational study conducted to study the effects of sleep deprivation on healthcare professionals working night shifts on rotation. Aim: This study determines the burden of sleep deprivation and daytime sleepiness and also the relation between hours of sleep and Epworth sleepiness scale scores in the study population. Methodology: A comparative hospital-based observational study was conducted, including healthcare professionals working night shifts on rotation at a tertiary-level healthcare facility, using a semistructured questionnaire. Observations from 293 study participants are reported, selected based on stratified random sampling, after the exclusion of healthcare professionals with other factors which may interfere with sleep deprivation testing. Results: The mean age in years of the study participants is 27.9 ± 4.3, with female composition being 68.9%. The mean duration of self-reported hours of sleep during the night shift period was 5.43 ± 1.38 hours, and 82.3% of the study participants were found to be sleep-deprived (<7 hours of sleep). The mean Epworth sleepiness scale (EPSS) score is 6.25 ± 3.15 with the burden of sleep deprivation being 30.7% and the burden of excessive daytime sleepiness being 16.4%. EPSS scores were found to decrease with an increase in hours of sleep, with 61% lesser odds of scoring 8-24 on EPSS. Conclusion: This study highlights the significant burden of sleep deprivation among healthcare providers working rotational night shifts, emphasizing its impact on daytime functioning and wellbeing. The findings point to the need for strategies to improve sleep health in this population to enhance both personal and professional outcomes.
