Impact of sleep duration on bone mineral density and osteoporosis risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and Objective: Poor sleep has been linked to numerous adverse health outcomes. However, the impact of sleep quality on bone health remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the link between the duration of sleep and the risk of osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD). Methodology: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus from inception till June 30, 2025 to identify studies examining the relationship between sleep duration and bone health outcomes. The primary effect measures were odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for osteoporosis and low BMD. Pooled estimates were calculated using random-effects models, and both qualitative and quantitative syntheses were conducted. Results: Thirty eligible studies were included. Sleeping ≤6 hours was associated with high risk of osteoporosis (OR 1.58; 95% CI, 1.29-1.94; I Conclusions: Both short and long sleep durations are associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and low bone mineral density, whereas a sleep duration of 6-8 hours appears to be optimal for bone health. Sleep duration emerges as a potentially modifiable target for osteoporosis prevention and warrants further mechanistic and interventional research.
