Trajectories of sleep disturbance and self-management of chronic conditions during COVID-19 among middle-aged and older adults.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a widespread impact on sleep quality, yet little is known about the prevalence of sleep disturbance and its impact on self-management of chronic conditions during the ongoing pandemic. To evaluate trajectories of sleep disturbance and their associations with one's capacity to self-manage chronic conditions. A longitudinal cohort study linked to 3 active clinical trials and 2 cohort studies with 5 time points of sleep data collection (July 15, 2020-May 23, 2022). Adults living with chronic conditions who completed sleep questionnaires for two or more time points. Trajectories of self-reported sleep disturbance across 5 time points. Three self-reported measures of self-management capacity, including subjective cognitive decline, medication adherence, and self-efficacy for managing chronic disease. Five hundred and forty-nine adults aged 23 to 91 years were included in the analysis. Two-thirds had 3 or more chronic conditions; 42.4% of participants followed a trajectory of moderate or high likelihood of persistent sleep disturbance across the study period. Moderate or high likelihood of sleep disturbance was associated with age < 60 (RR 1.57, 95% CI 1.09, 2.26, P = 0.016), persistent stress (RR 1.54, 95% CI 1.16, 2.06, P = 0.003), poorer physical function (RR 1.57, 95% CI 1.17, 2.13, P = 0.003), greater anxiety (RR 1.40, 95% CI 1.04, 1.87, P = 0.03) and depression (RR 1.63, 95% CI 1.20, 2.22, P = 0.002). Moderate or high likelihood of sleep disturbance was also independently associated with subjective cognitive decline, poorer medication adherence, and worse self-efficacy for managing chronic diseases (all P < 0.001). Persistent sleep disturbance during the pandemic may be an important risk factor for inadequate chronic disease self-management and potentially poor health outcomes in adults living with chronic conditions. Public health and health system strategies might consider monitoring sleep quality in adults with chronic conditions to optimize health outcomes.
