Association of Sleep Quality With Activity and Participation in Older Adults.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo explore the relation of self-reported sleep quality with the International Classification of Functioning domains of activity (eg, physical functioning) and participation (eg, disability).
designDescriptive, secondary, cross-sectional data analysis
settingGeneral community
participantsCommunity-dwelling older adults, volunteers, n=249
interventionsNot applicable
main outcome measuresThe Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, self-reported measures of activity and participation by the Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument, the Modified Gait Efficacy Scale for confidence in walking, and performance-based measures of physical functioning (gait speed, 6-minute Walk Test, Figure-of-8 Walk Test, and Short Physical Performance Battery). Measures of function were regressed on sleep quality adjusted for age, sex, and comorbidities.
resultsOlder adults with good (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index ≤5) compared with poor (>5) sleep quality reported better function and disability across almost all considered domains (P<.05). Effect sizes for self-reported and performance-based measures were comparable and in the small to moderate range.
conclusionsAmong older adults with mild to moderate functional limitations and disability, self-reported sleep quality related broadly to activity and participation. Experimental studies are needed to assess the effects of sleep interventions on activity and participation and understand if sleep quality may represent a novel treatment target in future intervention trials to improve function in older adults.
