Prevalence of sleep disturbances and their effects on quality of life in adults with untreated pituitary tumor and meningioma.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo explore the prevalence of sleep disturbances and their effects on quality of life in adults with pituitary tumor or meningioma.
methodsThis prospective study included 33 and 44 patients with pituitary tumor and meningioma, respectively. All participants completed a series of valid questionnaires for assessing sleep and quality of life; all participants wore 3-day actigraph prior to related treatment. The actigraph-derived sleep parameters included total sleep time, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, and dichotomy index (I < O) value.
resultsThe prevalence of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and poor sleep quality was 46.8%, 6.5%, and 81.8%, respectively. The differences in these sleep parameters between patients with pituitary tumor and those with meningioma were nonsignificant. Only 27 participants completed the actigraphic assessments. The mean I < O value was 95.99%, and nearly 60% participants exhibited circadian rhythm disruption. Sleep quality was the only sleep variable independently correlated with preoperative quality of life, even after adjustments for confounders (B = 0.80, p = 0.02).
conclusionsInsomnia, poor sleep quality, and disrupted circadian rhythm are highly prevalent in adults with untreated pituitary tumor or meningioma. Sleep quality independently correlated with quality of life. We indirectly confirmed that tumor location may not be a possible cause of sleep changes.
