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
To investigate the correlation between a healthy sleep pattern and the incidence of falls and fractures in individuals with CVD. A healthy sleep pattern is significantly associated with a lower risk of falls and fractures in CVD patients. This study highlights the importance of sleep management in CVD care. PURPOSE: Epidemiological evidence on whether patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) could benefit from combined healthy sleep behaviors is limited. We prospectively evaluated the association of multiple sleep behaviors with incident falls and fractures in individuals with CVD.
methodsSixty eight thousand nine hundred sixty-one UK Biobank participants with prevalent CVD were included. A healthy sleep score (0-4 points) combined four factors: optimal sleep duration (7-8 h/day), early chronotype, infrequent insomnia, and infrequent daytime sleepiness. Each factor meeting the healthy criteria scored 1 point. Cox regression yielded adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident falls and fractures.
resultsOver a median follow-up of 13.4 years, 5565 falls, 4080 fractures, and 833 hip fractures were documented. Among CVD patients, 8% lower risks of fall and fracture outcomes were associated with each additional healthy sleep factor. Adjusted HRs (95% CI) for patients with healthy sleep pattern (3-4 scores) compared with patients having poor sleep pattern (0-1 scores) were 0.79 (0.72 to 0.85) for fall, 0.78 (0.71 to 0.86) for all fracture, and 0.79 (0.64 to 0.98) for hip fracture. Individually, both sleep 7-8 h/day and early chronotype were statistically correlated with a reduction risk of fall, all fracture, with HRs ranging between 0.84 and 0.93.
conclusionA healthy sleep pattern is associated with reduced risk of falls and fractures among CVD patients. Our finding should act as a timely reminder to incorporate sleep into CVD management to prevent subsequent injury.
