Association between pharmacological guideline adherence and actigraphy-measured sleep variables in long-term hospitalized patients with schizophrenia.

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
Aim: Improving sleep quality is a crucial clinical objective in schizophrenia care; however, the association between evidence-based pharmacological treatment and sleep outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to examine whether guideline adherence, assessed using the individual fitness score (IFS), correlated with actigraphy-measured sleep in long-term hospitalized patients. Methods: We included 40 inpatients aged <65 years who were diagnosed with schizophrenia. Guideline adherence was assessed using the IFS and actigraphy was used to measure total sleep time (TST), sleep latency (SL), and sleep efficiency (SE). In 33 patients, these measures were re-evaluated after 6 months. Results: Cross-sectional analysis showed a positive correlation between IFS and TST (rho = 0.362, Conclusion: In this cohort of long-term hospitalized patients with schizophrenia, guideline adherence (higher IFS) was associated with increased TST. However, no clear longitudinal effects of IFS on sleep were observed. These findings emphasize the importance of guideline adherence in optimizing sleep, although extended follow-ups and larger sample sizes are required to confirm the long-term impact of guideline-based treatments on sleep in patients with schizophrenia.
