The correlation of sleep disorders with postoperative outcomes in spine surgery: A narrative review.
Article in North American Spine Society journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Sleep hygiene plays a pivotal role in maintaining good health, yet nearly 30% of adults face sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia and circadian rhythm disruptions. These disturbances are associated with worse patient-reported health outcomes and higher risk of complications following surgery. In orthopedics, sleep disorders increase readmission rates and prolong hospital stays, yet their correlation with outcomes following spine surgery remains poorly understood. Methods: We conducted a literature search using Pubmed, Embase and Scopus databases to identify studies reporting on the correlation of sleep-related disorders on spine pathologies and postoperative outcomes. Results: Sleep disorders contribute to systemic inflammation, impaired tissue repair and hormonal dysregulation, adversely affecting spinal health and recovery. Patients with untreated sleep disturbances experience higher pain levels, delayed rehabilitation and increased dependency on analgesics. Improved management of sleep disturbances has shown potential to improve clinical and functional outcomes after surgery. Conclusions: Managing sleep disorders in patients undergoing spine surgery is vital to optimize outcomes. Future research should prioritize prospective studies and the integration of comprehensive sleep-focused perioperative care strategies to minimize complications and improve recovery.
