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

Both hypertension and sleep disturbance have been closely linked to inflammation. However, the specific role of inflammation in the relationship between sleep disturbance and hypertension remains unclear. We investigated the pairwise associations among a novel inflammatory marker (systemic immune inflammation index ), sleep disturbance, and hypertension in a powerful, racially diverse sample (n = 23,414) from the 2005-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We found that participants with high blood pressure and/or sleep disorders had higher levels of Systemic Immune-Inflammatory Index (SII) than those without hypertension or sleep disorders.SII slightly but significantly mediated the relationship between sleep disturbance and hypertension in males but not in females, after adjusting for all covariates (proportion mediate [PM], 1.36%; total effect [TE], 0.0931; direct effect [ADE], 0.0917; verage causal mediation effects [ACME] = 0.0013 [95% CI = 0.0004-0.0024], p = 0.002, in males. Our research showed that SII, sleep disturbance, and hypertension are related. Increased SII levels slightly mediated the association between sleep disturbance and hypertension.
