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

Sleep disturbance is associated with increased risk for cognitive impairment. However, previous research is primarily based on non-Hispanic White individuals, despite higher rates of sleep problems and disorders among Hispanic/Latin American individuals (H/Ls). The present study reviews the current literature on associations between sleep and cognitive function in H/L adults. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we examined literature that (1) examined the association between sleep and cognitive decline in H/Ls, and (2) had a sample with at least 5% H/Ls. We found equivocal evidence of associations between sleep parameters and cognitive performance in H/Ls, with the most compelling evidence supporting a relationship between long sleep and lower cognitive function. Heterogeneity in operationalization and measurement likely contributes to these equivocal findings. Future cross-sectional, experimental, and longitudinal research in H/Ls is needed to address major knowledge gaps.
