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

STUDY

objectivesSleep is critical for maintaining overall brain health and may influence the trajectory of cognitive impairment. Using a multidimensional conceptualization of sleep, we hypothesized that data-derived multidimensional sleep composites would be associated with cognitive performance.

methodsData from four examinations (2010-2024) in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis were used to examine cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between multimodal sleep and cognition. Multidimensional sleep composites were derived from 39 objective and subjective sleep variables using principal components analysis. Cognition was measured using a global cognition composite (GCC), a standardization of total scores across Digit Symbol Coding, Digit Span, and Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument. Linear regression analyzed cross-sectional associations between sleep composites and cognition, and linear mixed-effects models examined associations with within-person cognitive change over time.

resultsIn cross-sectional analyses of 1628 participants (mean age 68.0; 54.9% female), 13 sleep composites explained about 71% of the sample's variance. After adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors, five sleep composites were associated with GCC cross-sectionally: (1) electroencephalography (EEG) power spectral density [ß (per standard deviation) = 0.065; 95% CI 0.03-0.10], (2) actigraphy based sleep continuity (ß = 0.049; 0.01-0.08), (3) spindle density (ß = 0.052; 0.02-0.09), (4) spindle-slow oscillation coupling (ß = 0.050; 0.01-0.09), and (5) rapid eye movement sleep (ß = 0.047; 95% CI 0.01-0.08). In the longitudinal analysis, actigraphy based sleep continuity and variability were associated with cognitive decline, although significance decreased after multiple comparison adjustment.

conclusionsEEG-based sleep microstructure and actigraphy-based sleep continuity were associated with cognitive performance cross-sectionally, while actigraphy-based sleep continuity was associated with cognition longitudinally. These findings support a multidimensional framework for understanding sleep-related risk factors for cognitive decline.
