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

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized by an urge to move the legs. The symptoms are more intense in the evening and during periods of inactivity. RLS symptoms are relieved by movement. It is classified as a sleep disorder, but in many ways it is actually a disorder of wakefulness that seems to intrude upon the ability to transition from wakefulness into sleep. Estimates on prevalence vary according to the methodology employed, but it generally affects between 3.9% and 14.3% of the population.(1) About one-third of persons are affected seriously enough to warrant treatment.(2.)
