Effect of Propofol on Postoperative Sleep Quality in Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Section with Spinal Anesthesia:A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Propensity Score Matching at a Single Center.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: To assess the impact of propofol on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. Patients and Methods: This study included a total of 245 patients, aged over 18 yr, who underwent elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. Outcomes were compared between the propofol group, which received propofol after infant delivery, and the control group, which received no intravenous anesthetics. Primary and secondary outcomes were postoperative sleep quality and depressive symptoms, evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at 30 days post-surgery. Propensity-score matching ensured balanced baseline characteristics. Results: Following propensity score matching, 29 patients per group were included in this study. After matching, the propofol group showed significantly lower PSQI scores (8.3 ± 3.4 vs 10.9 ± 3.1; mean difference -2.6, 95% CI: -3.1 to -2.1; Conclusion : Using propofol following extraction of the infant was associated with lower incidence of postoperative sleep disorders in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.
