Exploring the Relationship between Sleep Pattern and Quality of Life in the Middle-aged Population Based on Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis.
Observational study in Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aims to investigate the effects of 7 factors (subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medications, and daytime dysfunction), as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, on the quality of life (QOL) in middle-aged individuals. A total of 194 middle-aged individuals aged 45 to 59 years participated in this study. The Chinese version of the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to assess the QOL and sleep quality, respectively. The relationship between sleep patterns and QOL was analyzed using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. Improvement in sleep disturbances and reduction in the use of sleeping medications are necessary conditions for enhancing QOL. Two configurations of sleep patterns positively influence QOL: the "sufficiency type" with high level of sleep duration, non-sleep disturbances, and non-daytime dysfunction as core conditions; and the "efficiency type" with high habitual sleep efficiency and non-daytime dysfunction as core conditions. Three configurations of sleep patterns negatively influence QOL: the "low-quality type" with non-high-level subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, and habitual sleep efficiency as core conditions; the "barrier type" with high level of sleep disturbances, non-high-level sleep latency, and non-high-level subjective sleep quality/sleep duration as core conditions; and the "drug-based type" with high level of use of sleeping medications and subjective sleep quality as core conditions. Using the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method, this study initially reveals that the influence of sleep patterns on QOL in middle-aged individuals is a holistic effect combining multiple elements. This deepens and enriches the understanding of the relationship between sleep patterns and QOL and expands new perspectives for more in-depth research on how to improve the QOL of middle-aged individuals through sleep interventions.
