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

backgroundThe cross-link between diet, sleep quality, and chronic inflammation is increasingly recognized and gaining significant attention. However, current research on this topic is limited and conflicting. In this study, we explore the connection between diet's inflammatory potential, measured by the Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII), and sleep disorders in a rural Iranian population. Our hypothesis suggests that an inflammatory diet may contribute to sleep quality disorders.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included data from the Fasa Adult Cohort Study (FACS) (n = 10,138). Sleep efficiency < 85%, sleep duration < 7 h, and sleep latency > 15 min were defined using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The E-DII was calculated using a validated 125-item food frequency questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed the association between E-DII quartiles and sleep disorders.

resultsOur analyses included 9,761 individuals with a mean age of 49 ± 10 years. The average E-DII was - 0.30 ± 2.05. After adjusting for several confounders, participants in the highest quartile of E-DII had significantly higher odds of experiencing high sleep latency (OR = 1.30, 95%CI: 1.11-1.51, p-value < 0.001), low sleep efficiency (OR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.17-1.76, p-value < 0.001), using sleeping pills (OR = 1.53, 95%CI: 1.19-1.97, p-value < 0.001), and no leg restlessness (OR = 0.83, 95%CI: 0.71-0.97, p-value 0.02) compared to those in the lowest quartile. However, E-DII did not correlate with sleep duration or daily dozing-offs.

conclusionOur findings have implications for dietary interventions in managing sleep disorders. Individuals with sleep difficulties, particularly in initiating sleep, are advised to reduce intake of proinflammatory nutrients and increase consumption of anti-inflammatory nutrients.
