Sleep duration and quality among Indian anaesthesiologists: A nationwide cross-sectional survey.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 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
Background and Aims: Poor sleep can adversely affect well-being, cognitive function, and decision-making. Anaesthesiologists face unique occupational challenges (irregular shifts, on-call duties, and high stress), which exacerbate sleep disturbances. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of poor sleep among Indian anaesthesiologists and identify associated risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Indian anaesthesiologists. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while data on sleep duration, demographics, work patterns, personal habits, stress, and comorbidities were collected. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors independently associated with short sleep (<7 hours) and poor sleep quality (PSQI >5). Results: Out of 728 respondents, more than 60% reported short sleep (<7 hours) and more than 50% reported poor sleep quality (PSQI >5). Independent predictors of poor sleep included female gender, more than three night shifts or on-call duties per month, sedentary lifestyle, high home stress, and presence of self-reported sleep disorders. Respondents emphasised the impact of irregular hours, work-life imbalance, and the need for systematic interventions. Conclusion: Poor sleep quality is highly prevalent among Indian anaesthesiologists and is driven by both occupational and personal factors. Structured work schedules and shift patterns and emphasis on lifestyle and stress may improve sleep health and reduce patient risks.
