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

A multidimensional sleep health framework improves screening and treatment efficacy by simultaneously addressing multiple sleep domains. However, limited studies have used objective measures to evaluate the co-occurrence of diverse unhealthy sleep characteristics and their pleiotropic health effects. To represent real-world sleep patterns, we introduce the Unfavorable Sleep Profile (USP), an integrated multidimensional sleep health metric developed using accelerometer data in the UK Biobank (N = 85,233; aged 43-79 years). USP captures five domains: sleep timing, efficiency, duration, rhythmicity, and regularity. Phenome-wide association study found that USP was significantly associated with 76 out of 526 incident health outcomes over 7.9 years of follow-up. We identified several upstream environmental risk factors associated with USP, including low socioeconomic status. Whole-genome sequence analyses identified common variants in MEIS1 and rare coding variants in TTC1 associated with USP. We validated the USP framework in an independent cohort, the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Our findings underscore the importance of multidimensional sleep health assessment in predicting and potentially mitigating a wide array of health disorders and advance genetic insights into sleep health.
