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

Chronically short (<7 h) and long (>9 h) sleep duration may increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk relative to the recommended sleep duration (7-9 h). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of short and long sleep duration on arterial stiffness, a marker of CVD risk, in adults. Eleven cross-sectional studies were reviewed with a total sample size of 100,050 participants (64.5% male). Weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated and pooled using random effects models, and standardized mean differences (SMD) were calculated to determine effect size magnitude. Compared to the recommended sleep duration, both short (WMD = 20.6 cm/s, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 13.8-27.4 cm/s, SMD = 0.02) and long sleep duration (WMD = 33.6 cm/s, 95% CI: 20.0-47.2 cm/s, SMD = 0.79) were associated with higher (detrimental) pulse wave velocity (PWV). The associations between short sleep and higher PWV in adults with cardiometabolic disease, and long sleep and higher PWV in older adults, were also significant in sub-group analysis. These findings indicate short and long sleep duration may contribute to subclinical CVD.
