Sleep Problems and Sleep Quality in the General Adult Population Living in South Tyrol (Italy): A Cross-Sectional Survey Study.
Article in Clocks & sleep, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
It remains unclear how sleep health has developed in the general population after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence of sleep problems and poor sleep quality and (2) explore the associated sociodemographic and health-related factors in South Tyrol, Italy. A cross-sectional, population-based survey was conducted with a stratified probabilistic sample of 4000 adults aged ≥ 18 years. Sleep quality was assessed using the brief version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the data. A total of 2090 adults (53%) completed the survey. Poor sleep quality was reported by 17.8%, with 28.2% of participants reporting insufficient sleep duration (i.e., six hours or less), 12.7% having problems staying asleep (i.e., waking up to 3-4 times a week and unable to fall asleep again), and 8.7% having problems falling asleep (i.e., >30 min). Sleep problems and poor sleep quality were associated with sociodemographic and health-related factors, including gender, age, mother tongue, chronic disease, and sleep hygiene. Notably, Italian-speaking participants reported poorer sleep quality and greater difficulty staying asleep compared to German-speaking participants, highlighting potential sociocultural influences on sleep health. This study contributes to understanding the unique sleep health challenges in a multilingual region, highlighting the role of sociocultural factors in sleep quality differences between language groups.
