Prevalence of sleep disorders among older adults in Chinese older adults care institutions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Objective: To systematically evaluate the prevalence characteristics of sleep disorders among older adults residents in Chinese nursing homes and the differences among various subpopulations, providing evidence for promoting healthy aging. Methods: Search formulas were developed to systematically retrieve literature from the CNKI, VIP, Wan fang Data, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Cross-sectional studies published from the inception of each database until May 2025 on the incidence of sleep disorders among older adults individuals in Chinese nursing homes were collected. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.1 and R language (version 4.3.2). Results: A total of 35 articles were finally included, involving 15,996 older adults individuals residing in nursing homes. Meta-analysis revealed a pooled detection rate of sleep disorders of 43% (95% CI: 38-48%) among this population. Temporal trend analysis indicated significant fluctuations in the incidence of sleep disorders from 2008 to 2024, coupled with an overall downward trend. Subgroup analyses revealed statistically significant differences ( Conclusion: The detection rate of sleep disorders among older adults residents in Chinese nursing homes is relatively high, with marked disparities across different groups. Significant attention should be directed toward the sleep health of this population. Comprehensive preventive and intervention measures tailored to the characteristics of different subpopulations should be developed and implemented to effectively improve sleep quality and reduce the risk of sleep disorders.
