Insomnia and depression: clinical associations and possible mechanistic links.
Review in Current opinion in psychology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Chronic insomnia is highly comorbid with multiple psychological and physical disorders, but most notably depression. While insomnia is now viewed as a risk factor for depression, and not just a 'symptom' of the disorder, the reasons for this change in classification (from symptom to risk factor) have yet to be clearly articulated. This is one goal of the present review. Furthermore, efforts to identify the mechanisms, by which insomnia is related to increases in depression is a burgeoning area of research. Here, our second goal is to highlight several potential mechanisms that can be targets for future research.
