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

Background: The microbiota-gut-brain axis underlies the pathogenesis of sleep disorders. The dietary index for gut microbiota (DI-GM) is an innovative diet quality metric related to gut microbiota diversity, with higher scores indicating a healthier gut microbiome. This study aimed to investigate its association with sleep duration. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2005 to 2018, involving 25,439 participants aged ≥20 years. The DI-GM score was calculated utilizing dietary recall data, encompassing both beneficial (BGMS) and unfavorable (UGMS) to gut microbiota score. Sleep duration was assessed via the question: "How much sleep do you usually get at night on weekdays or workdays?" and categorized as short (<7 h per night), optimal (7-8 h per night), and long (>8 h per night). Multivariable weighted linear and logistic regression models were performed to determine the association between DI-GM and sleep duration. Secondary analyses included restricted cubic splines (RCS) and subgroup analyses. Results: In the fully adjusted model, a higher DI-GM score was associated with longer sleep duration (β =0.03, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.01-0.04, Conclusions: Higher DI-GM scores were associated with longer sleep duration, underscoring the potential of gut microbiota-targeted diets for sleep health.
