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

Objective: Sleep is essential for optimal health and is associated to development of chronic diseases. This study examines the association between sleep characteristics and multimorbidity among population in southern Tehran and its suburbs. Methods: This is a secondary cross-sectional study conducted in January 2025. We used data from 1311 participating adults in the Integrated Repeated Public Health Surveillance System (IRPHS) in Tehran (May-September 2023). Information on sleep duration, sleep satisfaction, and chronic disease (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular, dyslipidemia) was collected through telephone interviews. Multimorbidity was defined as having two or more chronic conditions. Associations between sleep and multimorbidity were examined using logistic regression model. Results: Multimorbidity was found in 78 participants (5.9 %) with more prevalence among older adults (≥65 years: 37.2 %, Conclusion: Long sleep duration may indicate higher odds of multimorbidity. Routine sleep assessment could help identify high risk individuals and support preventive interventions.
