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

Background: Sleep problems can have negative consequences for quality of life, functioning and health. This fact sheet investigates the prevalence of sleep onset problems and problems maintaining sleep among adults in Germany in 2024. Methods: In the Robert Koch Institute's panel 'Health in Germany', n = 27,038 participants (51.1 % female) were surveyed on the frequency of sleep onset problems and problems maintaining sleep over the past four weeks. The analyses were stratified by gender, age and education group. Results: Overall, 16.3 % of participants reported sleep onset problems and 31.7 % reported problems maintaining sleep. Differences were found across gender, age and education group, with higher prevalence among women and individuals in the low education group. Conclusions: Around one in three adults in Germany reports sleep onset problems or problems maintaining sleep. The results highlight the high public health relevance of problems with falling asleep and staying asleep.
