Association between gastrointestinal symptoms and insomnia among healthcare workers: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Healthcare workers frequently encounter demanding schedules, shift work, and significant psychological stressors, all of which can contribute to gastrointestinal disturbances and sleep irregularities. Although research has established that stress and shift work are independent risk factors for gastrointestinal discomfort and insomnia, the direct link between these two conditions in healthcare workers remains insufficiently explored. In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 372 healthcare workers from 6 public hospitals in Quanzhou via an online survey. Gastrointestinal and insomnia symptoms were measured using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), respectively, and analyzed via univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Overall, 40.6% of participants reported insomnia symptoms. The GSRS total score was positively associated with insomnia both before (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.12-1.25) and after adjustment for confounders including age, gender, anxiety, depression, somatization, and weekly night shift count (adjusted OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.00-1.15). These findings underscore a significant relationship between gastrointestinal symptoms and insomnia among healthcare workers, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve both GI health and sleep quality, thereby enhancing work efficiency and the overall quality of patient care.
