Sleep Following a Stroke: Multimodal Evaluation of Sleep Health and Disruptions and Impact on Recovery During Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation.
Trial report in Neurorehabilitation and neural repair, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04254484 (SIESTA), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
BackgroundOur understanding of sleep during early stroke care and its impact on rehabilitation outcomes remains limited. The objectives of this work were to (1) evaluate multidimensional sleep health and disruptions during acute inpatient rehabilitation for individuals with stroke, and (2) explore the relationship between sleep health/disruptions and functional recovery.MethodsData from 103 individuals with stroke were analyzed during acute inpatient rehabilitation. Sleep health/disruptions were assessed via patient reports, actigraphy, and biometric sensors. Functional outcomes were measured at admission and discharge. Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) were used to describe changes in sleep health over time, and multivariate regressions analyzed sleep disruptions and sleep-related predictors of functional recovery.ResultsOver inpatient stays, sleep improved with a 23% reduction in wake after sleep onset and 15% fewer multiple overnight disruptions. GLMs revealed that improved sleep quality was associated with reduced overnight activity and increased heart rate over time. Poor initial sleep quality and cognitive status were associated with more overnight disruptions. Lastly, minimal associations were found between sleep health and functional recovery.ConclusionsSleep health during inpatient stroke rehabilitation is generally poor, though improves over time. Sleep is affected by neurological recovery and hospital environment. Overnight activity and autonomic biomarkers were associated with perceived sleep health, and both physiological and environmental factors triggered disruptions. The association between functional recovery and indirect indicators of sleep health requires further investigation. These findings reveal new insights about inpatient sleep which can inform early, targeted sleep interventions to optimize post-stroke outcomes.SIESTA, ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04254484).
