Relationship between daytime napping duration and pan-cancer risk: a prospective cohort study based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundIn recent years, cancer has become a hot topic in the field of health management, and its etiology may be related to a variety of factors. Current research suggests that daytime napping duration is associated with variety of diseases, but few studies have explored the relationship between daytime napping duration and the risk of pan-cancer. Therefore, we based our study on the CHARLS database and Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the relationship between daytime napping duration and pan-cancer risk.
methodsThis study is based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and Mendelian Randomization (MR). We first used Mendelian Randomization to explore the causal relationship between daytime napping and pan-cancer. Cox proportional regression was used to investigate the relationship between daytime napping duration and the risk of pan-cancer. The RCS curve is used to display the non-linear relationship between daytime napping duration and pan-cancer risk.
resultsAmong 6 166 Chinese participants, compared with those who never napped, the overall cancer risk decreased by 31.0% (HR = 0.690), 33.9% (HR = 0.661), and 41.4% (HR = 0.586) for individuals who napped 1-30 min, 31-60 min, and over 60 min, respectively. Restricted cubic splines indicated a linear inverse association between nap duration and cancer risk (P for non-linear = 0.552), and sensitivity analyses yielded consistent results.
conclusionLonger daytime napping duration was associated with a lower overall cancer risk. After adjusting for multiple confounders, people who napping over 60 min remained linked to an approximately 40% reduction in cancer risk. Our study found an inverse association between daytime napping duration and cancer risk, but larger sample sizes and objective sleep measurements are still needed for validation.
