Global diet quality score and quality of sleep in patients with breast cancer: a population-based cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundPoor sleep quality is a common risk factor for a reduced quality of life in patients with breast cancer (BC). The Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) is a validated measure of dietary quality; however, its association with sleep quality in BC patients remains unclear.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the association between dietary quality, as measured by the GDQS, and sleep quality, as assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), among patients with BC.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 600 patients with BC registered in the Isfahan Breast Cancer Registry (2021-2023). Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire, and the GDQS was computed for 25 food groups. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Persian version of PSQI. Multiple linear regression models adjusted for confounders were used to assess the association between the GDQS and sleep quality.
resultsEach unit increase in the total and positive GDQS was associated with a decrease in the PSQI score and better sleep quality (β = -0.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.19, -0.05; p = 0.001 and β = -0.14, 95% CI: -0.22, -0.06; p = 0.001, respectively). Patients in the highest total and positive GDQS quartiles had significantly better sleep than those in the lowest quartile (β = -1.20, 95%CI: -2.09, -0.32; p = 0.008 and β = -1.72, 95% CI: -2.88, -0.57; p = 0.004, respectively), with a clear inverse relationship for both total and positive GDQS (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study underscores the role of dietary quality in improving the sleep health of patients with BC. Nutritional counseling should be integrated into oncology care to enhance sleep and well-being. Further studies are required to confirm these results regarding temporality.
