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

backgroundSleep disturbances are common among older adults recovering from traumatic injury and are associated with delayed psychological and functional recovery. Despite their prevalence, few studies have examined sleep disturbances early after injury in this population. This study evaluated the prevalence of self-reported sleep disturbances among older trauma survivors using PROMIS-based assessments within the Trauma Medical Home (TMH) care model to identify modifiable factors that may inform early, patient-centered interventions. METHODOLOGY: In this cross-sectional study, we conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Collaborative Care for Injured Older Adults: The Trauma Medical Home Randomized Clinical Trial (TMH) study. 144 patients 50 years of age and older admitted for traumatic injury into four trauma centers reported their sleep quality using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance Short Form 4a (PROMIS-SF). Symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), of post-traumatic stress using Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C), and pain intensity using Pain, Enjoyment of Life, and General Activity Scale (PEG) scale. Comorbidities were quantifiedusing the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and trauma severity using the Injury Severity Score (ISS). Logistic regression was used to examine associations between sleep disturbances and psychological and clinical factors.

resultsApproximately 22% of patients reported sleep disturbances. Patients with PTSD or pain symptoms had significantly higher odds of reporting sleep disturbances (OR for PTSD = 13.21, 95% CI = [2.90, 61.17], p = 0.001; OR for pain = 1.33, 95% CI = [1.11, 1.60], p = 0.002).

conclusionThis study extends prior research by focusing on older adult trauma survivors and assessing sleep disturbances during the immediate post-injury period using PROMIS-based patient-reported outcomes within the Trauma Medical Home (TMH) care model. This approach provides new insight into early, multidimensional symptom patterns and identifies modifiable factors that can inform timely, patient-centered interventions to improve recovery.
