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

objectivesThis review aims to explore the relationship between poor pre-stroke sleep and stroke.

resultsPre-stroke sleep duration is associated with the risk and mortality of total stroke, exhibiting a 'U-shaped' or 'J-shaped' dose-response relationship. Regarding stroke subtypes, prolonged sleep duration is linked to an increased risk of ischemic stroke, while short sleep duration is associated with hemorrhagic and wake-up strokes. Additionally, poor sleep quality is one of the risk factors for stroke occurrence. Moreover, daytime napping can mitigate the negative consequences of sleep issues, but attention should be paid to the duration and frequency of naps. Finally, disruptions in circadian rhythms, inflammatory responses, endocrine changes, and alterations in the autonomic nervous system may be potential pathogenic mechanisms through which chronic poor sleep leads to stroke.

conclusionsHealthy individuals experiencing poor sleep can be considered susceptible to stroke. It is crucial to further refine stroke risk assessments for these individuals and provide targeted medical advice. Additionally, we should identify the optimal duration and frequency of naps to reduce the risk of stroke. Furthermore, closer attention should be paid to the temporal dimension to address the challenges that modern societal changes pose to circadian rhythms. Lastly, the relationship between chronic poor sleep and sleep disorders should also be closely examined.
