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

To investigate associations between life satisfaction and sleep health among adults in the United States, we analyzed cross-sectional, nationally-representative data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey. Life satisfaction was dichotomized as 'very satisfied/satisfied' vs. 'dissatisfied/very dissatisfied.' Sleep duration was defined as 'recommended' vs. 'short' (≥ 7 vs.<7 h), infrequent insomnia symptoms as difficulty falling/staying asleep: 'yes' [never/some days for both] vs. 'no' [most days/every day to either], and restorative sleep as feeling well rested in the past 30 days: 'yes' [most days/every day] vs. 'no' [never/some days]. Using survey-weighted Poisson regression with robust variance adjusting for confounders, we estimated prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) overall and by age, sex, race, and ethnicity to test for effect modification. Among 25,090 adults (mean age of 48.1 ± 0.17 years; 54% women), 96.0% reported life satisfaction with comparable prevalence across age (18-30 years [96.6%], 31-49 years [96.4%], and ≥ 50 years [95.0%]) and among men [95.6%] along with women [95.6%]. Prevalence by race and ethnicity ranged from 93.9% [non-Hispanic (NH)-multiracial/other] to 98.0% [NH-Asian]. Life satisfaction vs. dissatisfaction was associated with recommended sleep duration (aPR:1.14 [95% CI:1.07-1.21]), infrequent insomnia symptoms (aPR:1.25 [95% CI:1.16-1.33]), and restorative sleep (aPR:1.61 [95% CI:1.45-1.79]) even after further adjustment. Age, sex, race, and ethnicity did not modify associations between life satisfaction and sleep. Life satisfaction was associated with recommended sleep duration, infrequent insomnia symptoms, and restorative sleep. Pathways underlying the life satisfaction-sleep relationship should be identified to inform interventions.
