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

Background: Sleep health was crucial for healthy aging, yet it can be influenced by environmental factors and dietary habits. Evidence linking between cooking fuel use, dietary diversity, and sleep health, however, remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the aforementioned associations and to further assess the potential moderating role of dietary diversity. Methods: We included 9,121 adults aged ≥65 years from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Information on household fuel use and sleep health were collected by validated questionnaires, and dietary diversity was assessed with a simplified food frequency questionnaire. We used logistic regression models to examine the associations of solid cooking fuel use and dietary diversity with sleep health. Results: Among the 9,121 participants included in the study, 4,848 (53.15%) reported good self-reported sleep quality and 3,324 (36.44%) reported adequate sleep duration. Exposure to solid cooking fuels was associated with poor self-reported sleep quality (odds ratio [OR] = 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.78-0.95). In contrast, a higher dietary diversity score (DDS) was associated with better self-reported sleep quality (OR = 1.50; 95%CI = 1.37-1.64) and adequate sleep duration (OR = 1.18; 95%CI = 1.07-1.30). Similarly, a higher anti-inflammatory dietary diversity score (AIDDS) showed significant associations with better self-reported sleep quality (OR = 1.53; 95%CI = 1.39-1.67) and adequate sleep duration (OR = 1.22; 95%CI = 1.11-1.34). Notably, participants with combined exposure to clean cooking fuels and a high DDS/AIDDS had substantially greater odds of better self-reported sleep quality and adequate sleep duration than those exposed to solid fuels with a low DDS/AIDDS ( Conclusion: Our study indicates that exposure to solid cooking fuels was associated with poor self-reported sleep quality among older adults. Furthermore, higher dietary diversity may attenuate this adverse association, suggesting it is a promising target for public health interventions.
