Preoperative insomnia exacerbates postoperative sleep fragmentation in elderly arthroplasty patients: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Preoperative insomnia is prevalent among elderly arthroplasty patients, yet its impact on postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) remains underexplored. This study investigated whether preexisting insomnia exacerbates postoperative sleep fragmentation in total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) patients under spinal anesthesia. Methods: In this prospective cohort study 121 patients aged ≥65 undergoing THA/TKA were stratified by preoperative insomnia. Sleep was assessed via subjective metrics including Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Meanwhile, the EEG-based monitor and actigraphy were used to assess the objective sleep quality and conduct sleep staging. Results: Pre-existing insomnia exacerbates postoperative sleep fragmentation, manifested by persistently elevated microarousals (operative night to postoperation day2, POD2) and prolonged sleep latency. Selective REM suppression occurs in insomnia patients during the acute postoperative phase (operative night and POD1), independent of NREM duration alterations. Subjective sleep quality assessments revealed that the insomnia group demonstrated significantly higher AIS and ISI scores compared to the non-insomnia group. Conclusion: Preoperative insomnia independently exacerbates postoperative sleep fragmentation in elderly arthroplasty patients. The study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Registration No. ChiCTR2400085184) on June 8, 2024.
