Associations of Sleep Quality with Cognitive Function in Chinese Older Adults: The Roles of Self-Efficacy and Depressive Symptoms.

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
Objective: To examine the associations among sleep quality, self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and cognitive function in older adults, and to explore whether self-efficacy may be involved in the association between sleep quality and cognitive function and whether depressive symptoms may moderate this association. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,030 older adults in Ningxia, China. Sleep quality, cognitive function, self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms were assessed using validated instruments. After adjusting for age, gender, marital status, education level, residence, smoking and drinking status, living alone, exercise, hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, mediation and moderated mediation analyses were performed using the PROCESS macro. Results: Significant correlations were observed among sleep quality, self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and cognitive function. Self-efficacy showed a significant indirect effect in the association between sleep quality and cognitive function (B = -0.034, 95% CI: -0.048 to -0.022). In addition, depressive symptoms significantly moderated the association between self-efficacy and cognitive function (B = 0.009, p < 0.01). The magnitude of the indirect association between sleep quality and cognitive function through self-efficacy was stronger at higher levels of depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Poor sleep quality was associated with poorer cognitive function in older adults, and self-efficacy may be involved in this association. Depressive symptoms may further strengthen this indirect association. These findings suggest that sleep quality, self-efficacy, and depressive symptoms may all be relevant to cognitive health among older adults.
