Nonrestorative Sleep and Poor Self-Reported Physical and Mental Health among Middle-Aged Japanese Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in JMA journal, 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
Introduction: Self-reported health is a robust indicator linked to mortality, morbidity, and health-related quality of life. Nonrestorative sleep-subjective unrefreshing sleep-is increasingly reported in middle-aged adults and is related to cardiometabolic and mental conditions, yet its relationship with perceived health in this group is underexplored. This study investigated the associations between nonrestorative sleep and poor self-reported physical and mental health among middle-aged adults in Japan. Methods: A cross-sectional postal survey was conducted in 2020 using a self-administered questionnaire among 33,902 community residents aged 40-64 years in five cities of Osaka Prefecture, Japan. After excluding missing data, 11,086 participants remained for analysis. Physical and mental health were assessed with standardized rating items, dichotomized into "very good/good/average" versus "poor/very poor." Nonrestorative sleep was defined by the question, "Do you feel refreshed after a night's sleep?" with "no" indicating nonrestorative sleep. Results: Among the study cohort, nonrestorative sleep was associated with increased risk ratios (RRs) for poor physical health (adjusted RR: 2.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.97-2.29) and poor mental health (adjusted RR: 2.21; 95% CI: 2.06-2.36). For participants without a history of present illness, the adjusted RRs were 2.55 (95% CI: 2.11-3.07) for poor physical health and 2.51 (95% CI: 2.18-2.89) for poor mental health. All models were adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioral, and health-related factors. Nonrestorative sleep consistently showed the highest RRs in the primary multivariable models. Conclusions: This large-scale study demonstrates that nonrestorative sleep is strongly associated with poor self-reported physical and mental health in middle-aged adults.
