Longitudinal sleep duration trajectories and their association with cardio-renal-metabolic multimorbidity risk in postmenopausal women: evidence from the CHARLS study.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundTo investigate the association between longitudinal sleep duration trajectories and the risk of cardio-renal-metabolic multimorbidity (CRMM) in a population of postmenopausal women.
methodsA total of 2,859 postmenopausal women from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included, with 4 repeated measurements of night sleep duration collected from 2011 to 2018. Group-based trajectory modeling was adopted to identify distinct sleep duration trajectory patterns. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the associations between sleep trajectories and incident CRMM ascertained between 2018 and 2020. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were further conducted to validate the robustness of the findings.
resultsThree sleep duration trajectory patterns were identified: normal-stable (33.9% of the cohort), normal-fluctuating decline (52.0%), and short-rapid decline (14.1%). During a median follow-up of 2 years, the primary outcome (incident CRMM) occurred in 108 participants (3.8%). Compared with normal-stable group, those in normal-fluctuating decline and short-rapid decline groups had an increased risk of CRMM (ORs of 2.30 [95%CI, 1.35-3.91] and 3.75 [95%CI, 1.99-7.07], respectively) after adjustment for multiple covariates. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these associations, which were independent of key baseline characteristics and missing data.
conclusionIn postmenopausal women, short and declining sleep duration trajectories are strong, independent risk factors for CRMM. Public health and clinical interventions should prioritize maintaining stable, adequate sleep to mitigate multimorbidity risk in this population.
