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
The association between sleep duration and obesity risk remains unclear. We performed an updated meta-analysis to quantify a potential dose-response relation between sleep duration and risk of obesity. PubMed and Embase were searched for prospective cohort studies examining the association between sleep duration and risk of obesity that were published up to October 28, 2017. Random effects models were used to evaluate the pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of sleep duration and obesity. Restricted cubic splines were used to model the dose-response association. The meta-analysis included 12 studies (16 reports). We found a reverse J-shaped relation between sleep duration and obesity, with the lowest risk at 7-8-h sleep per day. Compared with 7-h sleep duration per day, the pooled relative risks for obesity were 1.09 (95% CI 1.05-1.14) for each 1-h decrement among individuals who slept < 7 h per day and 1.02 (95% CI 0.99-1.05) for each 1-h increment of sleep duration among individuals with longer sleep duration. Short sleep duration significantly increased the risk of obesity. Compared with 7-h sleep duration per day, the risk of obesity increases 9% for each 1-h decrease in sleep duration.
