Sleep problems and injury risk among juveniles: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

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
Recent studies have reported inconsistent results regarding the association between sleep problems and injury risk among juveniles. Moreover, the extent of this risk remains largely unexplored. Thus, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by our team to determine whether sleep problems increase the incidence of injuries among juveniles. PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies that explored the association between sleep problems and injury risk and have been published before July 2016. Multivariate adjusted odds ratio (OR) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and pooled using random-effects models. A total of 10 observational studies involving 73,418 participants were identified. Meta-analysis findings suggested that juveniles with sleep problems held a 1.64 times higher risk of injury than that of juveniles without sleep problems (OR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.44-1.85). This relationship was also supported by subgroup analyses, which were based on different countries and study designs. The current evidence indicates that sleep problems are significantly associated with injury risk among juveniles. Sleep problems are highly important for young people; hence, sleep researchers and occupational physicians should focus on this aspect. Nevertheless, high-quality and adequately powered observational studies are still needed.
