Caffeine intake from different dietary sources and its association with sleep quality in employed adults.
Article in BMC nutrition, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the frequency and amount of consumption of caffeine-containing foods among adults in active employment and to examine the relationship between total daily caffeine intake and sleep quality.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 428 working adults aged 19–50 years. Caffeine intake was assessed using a quantitative consumption frequency form created by the researchers, while sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Statistical analyses involved appropriate parametric and nonparametric tests, as well as correlation and multiple linear regression models.
resultsThe participants’ average daily caffeine intake was 262.5 [144.0-411.0] mg. The primary sources of caffeine were black coffee (filter/Americano), black tea, and Turkish coffee. Participants with poor sleep quality (71.7%) consumed significantly more caffeine daily than those with good sleep quality. A positive and significant correlation was observed between caffeine intake and PSQI scores. Regression analysis indicated that caffeine consumption, was a significant independent predictor of poor sleep quality (β = 0.147, p = 0.003), particularly affecting sleep duration and disturbances.
conclusionThese results suggest that caffeine intake is a significant lifestyle factor independently associated with sleep quality, and a comprehensive evaluation of consumption sources could benefit public health. Future research should also focus on the timing of caffeine consumption and incorporate objective sleep measures.
