Long-term sleep disturbance following burn injury: Insights from the Burn Model System.

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
objectiveTo address the limited understanding of sleep disturbance (SD) among adult burn survivors by comprehensively examining its prevalence and related factors on a national scale using the Burn Model System (BMS) National Database. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: SD is a common but underexplored sequela of burn injury, affecting burn survivors' quality of life and functionality well beyond the initial injury. Existing data on SD and its co-morbidities in these patients are limited to select single-institution studies, lacking a comprehensive national perspective.
methodsThe BMS National Database was queried to identify burn patients responding to SD-related questions at 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, and 5 years post-injury. Descriptive statistics, subgroup analyses, and mixed-effects modeling were conducted to evaluate the prevalence, progression, and associated factors of SD at different time points.
results558 adult burn survivors met inclusion criteria. At 6 months post-injury, 34 % of participants reported SD, with 31 % still affected at 5 years. Demographic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity) and clinical characteristics (body mass index (BMI), total body surface area burned (TBSA)) could not significantly predict the risk of SD. Mixed-effects modeling demonstrated a significant association between higher SD scores and increased depression and anxiety scores.
conclusionsSD is a persistent condition among burn survivors, with prevalence continuing up to 5 years post-injury. Our study highlights the inability to predict SD based on demographic and clinical factors, underscoring the need for universal screening and interventions. In addition, the association between SD, depression, and anxiety calls for an integrated care approach that addresses both psychological and physical recovery in burn patients.
