Clinical Cut Point for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index After Adolescent Concussion.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Concussions can have negative implications for sleep quality. Self-report measures, such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), have been used in clinical and research settings to identify individuals with sleep impairments. However, the accuracy/applicability of historically established PSQI scoring criteria for differentiating good versus poor sleep quality has not been critically examined in adolescents with concussion. Purpose: To establish a relevant PSQI clinical cut point for adolescents with a recent concussion. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Adolescents within 16 days of concussion and uninjured controls completed the PSQI, and a global score of 0 to 21 was calculated. Independent-samples Results: A total of 110 adolescents with a concussion (mean age, 14.9 ± 1.6 years; 53% female; 9.8 ± 3.6 days since injury) and 129 uninjured controls (mean age, 15.6 ± 1.1 years; 86% female) were included for analysis. The concussion group had significantly worse (higher) PSQI scores than controls (mean, 7.41 ± 3.62 vs 2.26 ± 1.97; Conclusion: Adolescents with a concussion demonstrated worse sleep quality than uninjured controls. The results suggest that sleep quality, as measured by the PSQI, can distinguish between adolescents with and without a concussion, using a cut point of 4.
