Longitudinal trajectories and risk factors of insomnia symptoms among Chinese bus drivers.

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
Objectives: This study investigated the three-year prevalence and longitudinal trajectories of insomnia symptoms among bus drivers and examined key sociodemographic-health-related factors and psychosocial predictors, with the aim of informing targeted preventive strategies. Methods: A total of 11,576 bus drivers from 22 companies in Guangdong participated in three online surveys at T1 (August-December 2019), T2 (October-December 2021), and T3 (October-December 2023). The surveys assessed demographics, insomnia symptoms, and psychosocial factors. Two-stage multivariate logistic regression models were employed to examine risk factors associated with adverse trajectories. Results: Prevalence of insomnia symptoms declined steadily from 12.5% at T1 to 7.8% at T3. Five distinct trajectories were identified: resistance (78.5%), chronic dysfunction (1.9%), delayed dysfunction (4.7%), recovery (9.4%), and relapsing/remitting (5.5%). Sociodemographic and psychosocial distress factors (e.g., age, lower financial status, job burnout, family dysfunction) significantly increased the risk of general insomnia and adverse trajectory membership. Crucially, a history of severe physical illness was a strong determinant of chronic risk, while exercising for 30 min daily was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of recovery. Conclusion: Our study offers insights into the longitudinal trajectories of insomnia symptoms and their associated risk factors among Chinese bus drivers. These findings carry important implications for designing trajectory-specific occupational health interventions and refining public transportation management strategies.
