Knowledge Level of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Sleep Quality in People With Epilepsy.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
backgroundKnowledge level about sleep quality and cardiovascular disease risk factors in people with epilepsy is an important but insufficiently researched area.
objectiveThis study was conducted to determine the knowledge level about cardiovascular disease risk factors and the sleep quality of people with epilepsy. This descriptive study was conducted between January and April 2024 with 303 individuals diagnosed with epilepsy. Data were collected using the Individual Descriptive Characteristics Form, Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level Scale (CARRF-KL), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Independent groups t-test, one-way analysis of variance, post hoc tests correlation, and linear regression analyses were used in the data analysis.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 41.84 ± 11.92, 80.2% having been diagnosed with epilepsy for more than 10 years, and 86.8% diagnosed with generalized epilepsy. The mean CARRF-KL total score of people with epilepsy was 19.40 ± 3.09, and their knowledge level was above average. The mean total score of PSQI was 6.44 ± 4.32, suggesting poor sleep quality. The total score of cardiovascular disease risk factors knowledge level of individuals diagnosed with epilepsy differed according to gender, marital status, epilepsy type, and presence of additional chronic diseases (p < 0.05).
conclusionHalf of the people with epilepsy had poor sleep quality. Knowledge level of cardiovascular disease risk factors was above average.
