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

backgroundWe aimed to explore insomnia symptoms among 2299 children and adolescents after an earthquake and their bidirectional relationship to somatic complaints and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

methodsThe Patient Health Questionnaire-15 scale, the Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale, and three questions evaluating insomnia symptoms (including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and early morning awakening) were administered to child and adolescent survivors 3 and 6 months after the Lushan earthquake.

resultsThe prevalence rates of insomnia symptoms among children and adolescents were 52 and 40% 3 and 6 months after the Lushan Earthquake, respectively. Insomnia symptoms evaluated after 3 months could significantly predict subsequent PTSD (odds ratio (OR), 1.476; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.133-1.924) and all somatic symptoms, except for dizziness, evaluated after 6 months. PTSD (OR, 1.633; 95%CI, 1.315-2.027) and headache (OR, 1.545; 95%CI, 1.223-1.953) evaluated after 3 months significantly predicted insomnia symptoms evaluated after 6 months.

conclusionsInsomnia symptoms, which were commonly seen after the earthquake, could longitudinally predict the development of PTSD and various somatic symptoms, and PTSD and headache could longitudinally predict the developments of insomnia symptoms among children and adolescent earthquake survivors. These findings highlight the importance of assessing and addressing insomnia symptoms in children and adolescents following a traumatic event.
