Sleep Quality and Its Determinants Among Patients With Chronic Diseases in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in BioMed research international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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: Patients with chronic medical and mental illnesses are more vulnerable to poor sleep quality. However, there is little aggregated evidence about poor sleep quality among this population and its determinants in Ethiopia. This study was aimed at assessing the pooled prevalence of sleep quality and its determinants among patients with chronic diseases in Ethiopia. Methods: We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to write this review. Primary articles were retrieved from PubMed, PsycINFO, Hinari, ScienceDirect, African Journal Online (AJOL), and Google Scholar databases. A random-effects model was applied for analysis. Results: The pooled prevalence of poor sleep quality among patients with chronic medical and mental illnesses was 53.12% (95% CI: 47.66, 58.58). Eight factors were associated with poor sleep quality: advanced age (POR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.07), female sex (POR = 2.95, 95% CI: 2.21, 3.93), social support (POR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.90, 3.61), substance use (POR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.51, 2.04), anxiety symptoms (POR = 2.92, 95% CI: 2.40, 3.56), comorbidity (POR: 2.47, 95% CI: 1.83, 3.33), sleep hygiene practice (POR: 2.86, 95% CI: 2.02, 4.04), and depression symptoms (POR = 3.73, 95% CI: 2.96, 4.69). Conclusion and Recommendation: More than half of patients with chronic diseases experienced poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality was connected with advanced age, female sex, substance use, having comorbidity, inadequate social support and sleep hygiene practices, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Substance use should be restricted, and patients with chronic mental and medical illnesses should be counseled to avoid substance use. Moreover, special focus should be given to female patients, patients with other comorbid conditions, elderly individuals, and those who have poor sleep hygiene and social support. Lastly, patients with chronic medical and mental illnesses should be screened for anxiety and depression symptoms.
