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

backgroundSleep disorders and physical dysfunction are prevalent in the elderly, particularly among hospitalized individuals, yet the relationship between the two remains unclear. Given China's rapidly aging population, understanding how sleep quality relates to physical function is crucial for informing healthcare practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and physical function indicators in older patients admitted to internal wards.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, the patients admitted in geriatric department were included. Sleep quality was assessed with 8 items Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS-8). Physical function was evaluated from 3 domains: mobility evaluated by Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and gait speed, muscle strength evaluated by grip and chair rises test, balance performance assessed by Timed Up-and-Go test (TUGT). Logistic regression was applied for statistical analyses, adjusting for confounders.

resultsA total of 545 old patients (≥ 60 years) were included. Those with poor sleep quality (AIS-8 ≥ 6) exhibited a higher likelihood of physical dysfunction, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 1.892 (1.037-3.453) for low gait speed, 1.810 (1.110-2.952) for low grip strength, 2.491 (1.496-4.147) for impaired TUGT. Sleep quality components, particularly maintenance and daytime dysfunction, were linked to physical function indicators. Stratified by age, poor sleep quality was associated with a higher incidence of low grip strength and impaired TUGT in participants ≥ 75 years old. But the association wasn't seen in patients < 75 years. Stratified by gender, a significant association of sleep quality with impaired TUGT in female population was observed but not for the male population.

conclusionsPoor sleep quality was associated with reduced physical function, especially in with advancing ageand in women. Targeted interventions to enhance sleep in the elderly may contribute to maintaining physical function and improve the quality of life of such patients. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
