Prevalence and Associated Factors of Poor Sleep Quality Among adults in Qatar.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Poor sleep quality is increasingly recognized as a global public health concern linked to adverse physical, psychological, and occupational outcomes. However, data on sleep quality and its determinants remain scarce in Qatar. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of poor sleep quality and identify its associated factors among adults attending primary healthcare centers in Qatar. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in six randomly selected primary health centers representing Qatar's three health regions. Adults aged ≥18 years were recruited using multistage sampling. Data was collected through structured telephone interviews using validated tools, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), GAD-2, PHQ-2, Sleep Hygiene Index, and IPAQ-short. Poor sleep quality was defined as PSQI ≥5. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors. Results: Among 390 participants, 60.3% were classified as having poor sleep quality. Bivariate analysis showed significant associations between poor sleep and several factors, including female gender, Arab nationality, employment status, chronic disease, tobacco users, anxiety, depression, high perceived stress, and poor sleep hygiene. In the multivariable analysis, independent predictors of poor sleep were smokers (AOR=2.57, 95% CI: 1.43-4.64), higher perceived stress (AOR=1.1 per unit increase, 95% CI: 1.01-1.19), and higher Sleep Hygiene Index scores (AOR=1.06 per unit increase, 95% CI: 1.03-1.1). Conclusion: Poor sleep quality affects a substantial proportion of adults in Qatar and is significantly associated with modifiable lifestyle and psychological factors. Primary care-based interventions targeting stress management and sleep hygiene promotion are warranted.
