Excessive daytime sleepiness in general hospital nurses: prevalence, correlates, and its association with adverse events.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the prevalence and correlates of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in a population of hospital nurses in South China as well as the influence of EDS on the occurrence of adverse events.
methodsA total of 1102 nurses working in a large medical center were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study (96.9% females, mean age 29.6 years). They all completed a self-reported questionnaire consisting of items on demographic variables, lifestyle factors, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and both work-related and sleep-related characteristics.
resultsA total of 1048 nurses gave a valid response (response rate 95.1%). Among them, 169 (16.1%) reported EDS as defined as an Epworth Sleepiness Scale ≥ 14. Depression (adjusted odds ratio = 2.24, 95% confidence interval 1.51-3.31), anxiety (1.65; 1.02-2.67), insomnia (2.29; 1.56-3.36), rotating shift work (1.98; 1.03-3.83), and low interest in work (1.74; 1.01-2.99) were all independent risk factors of the occurrence of EDS. EDS is associated with the occurrence of adverse events after controlling for confounding factors (adjusted OR 1.83, CI 1.26 to 2.67).
conclusionsEDS was common among this relatively young and healthy nurse population in south China. There were clear associations between EDS and depression, anxiety, insomnia, rotating shift work, and low work-related interest. Furthermore, EDS was an independent risk factor in the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) in our subjects.
