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

backgroundInteractions between inflammation and sleep disorders are increasingly recognized; however, limited research comprehensively evaluates the association between multiple inflammatory indicators and sleep disorders.

methodsThis cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2015-2020) involving 2,342 participants. Machine learning algorithms were employed to identify inflammatory indicators with potential predictive value for sleep disorders, followed by Shapley value analysis to quantify their contributions. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were applied to examine associations between key inflammatory markers and sleep disorders. Mediation analysis was conducted to assess the role of depression in these relationships. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to compare the predictive performance of individual inflammatory markers. Sensitivity analyses using E-values were performed to evaluate the robustness of findings against unmeasured confounding.

resultsAlpha-1-acid glycoprotein, C-reactive protein, and Naples Prognosis Score all showed significant positive correlations with sleep disorders. Among these, AGP and CRP contributed most significantly to the model (Shap value≈0.23). Furthermore, mediation analysis indicated that depression mediated 15.1% of the total effect of AGP on sleep disorders.

conclusionsThe study confirms a significant positive association between serum AGP levels and sleep disorders. Among the inflammatory markers evaluated, AGP exhibited the strongest correlation, underscoring its potential clinical relevance in the pathophysiology of sleep disturbances.
