Sleep quality, emotional moods, and cognitive outcomes among people living with HIV: An ecological momentary assessment study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionAlthough studies have explored the relationship between sleep quality, mood, and cognitive outcomes among people living with HIV (PLWH), few use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) techniques to evaluate within-person associations between sleep quality and emotional/cognitive outcomes among PLWH at the day level. This study investigated the association between previous night's sleep quality and momentary psychological outcomes in participants' natural setting.
methodsStudy participants were PLWH in South Carolina who were at least 18 years old, diagnosed with HIV for at least 2 years, and able to operate a cellphone. Participants were sampled using posters posted in AIDS Service organizations, and snowball sampling. Data collection occurred between March and November 2023. During a 10-day EMA period, participants received 6 brief surveys throughout the day. Surveys were delivered within a 14-hour time window at semi-random times, with at least 1.5 hours between surveys. Five multilevel models were implemented with mindfulness, positive affect, negative affect, perceived cognition, and self-control as the outcome variables, and previous night's sleep quality as the input variable.
resultsA total of 962 responses were gathered from 22 participants, with an average of 43.73 responses per person. Experiencing higher than usual levels of sleep quality the night prior had a significant positive association with higher levels of momentary mindfulness (β = 0.08, p < 0.001), positive affect (β = 0.1, p < 0.05), and self-control (β = 0.06, p < 0.05) when controlling for other covariates. Experiencing higher than usual levels of sleep quality the night prior exhibited trends towards a significant positive association with perceived cognition (β = 0.04, p < .1). Within-person sleep quality was not associated with momentary negative affect.
conclusionAmong PLWH, future interventions targeting health behaviors sensitive to poor mood and cognition (e.g., ARV adherence) should incorporate intervention activities that ensure good sleep quality among participants. Additional studies are needed with larger sample sizes to assess the generalizability of study results.
