Short Sleep Duration Measured by Smartwatch Is Associated With Elevated Resting Heart Rate and Reduced Nocturnal Oxygen Saturation: Insights From Heartbeat.

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
introductionSleep duration has been shown to impact cardiovascular outcomes; however, the impact on wearable-derived metrics such as oxygen saturation and resting heart rate remains underinvestigated. This study aims to determine whether average sleep duration of ≤ 6 h per night impacts resting heart rate (RHR) and maximum nocturnal oxygen saturation (MaxSpO₂).
methodsUsing data from the HEARTBEAT study, sleep duration and maximum oxygen saturation during sleep were collected via the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Participants were stratified into two groups based on average sleep duration (≤ 6 h vs > 6 h per night) and propensity-matched for baseline characteristics. The primary outcomes were RHR and MaxSpO₂. Statistical analysis was performed using R, version 4.5.1.
resultsAfter propensity score matching, there were 168 patients in each group with well-balanced baseline characteristics and comorbidities. Participants with average sleep duration ≤ 6 h demonstrated higher RHR compared to those with average sleep duration > 6 h (61.0 ± 5.8 bpm vs 57.7 ± 6.8 bpm; p < 0.001). Additionally, MaxSpO₂ was lower in the group with shorter sleep duration (95.1 ± 2.4% vs 96.2 ± 1.5%; p < 0.001).
conclusionSleeping ≤ 6 h per night is associated with higher resting heart rate and lower maximum nocturnal oxygen saturation.
