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
purposeInadequate sleep duration affects asthma and weight. The associations among sleep duration, asthma, and different weight statuses in the Chinese population need to be further determined.
methodsThe study included 32,776 Chinese adults from the China Health and Nutrition Survey during 2009-2015. Self-reported sleep duration was classified into three groups: ≤ 6 h (short), 7 to 8 h (optimal), and ≥ 9 h (long). Age, sex, smoking, drinking alcohol, and residence location were adjusted as potential confounding factors in a generalized estimating equations model.
resultsThe prevalence of asthma in the Chinese population was approximately 1.17% (383/32,776). Asthmatics were associated with shorter sleep duration and higher indices of central obesity (mean waist circumference, waist to height ratio, and conicity index) than the population without asthma. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, odds ratios (ORs) indicated positive associations between sleep duration and asthma (short vs optimal, adjusted OR = 1.74, 95%CI 1.33, 2.26; and long vs optimal, adjusted OR = 1.51, 95%CI 1.18, 1.93). When stratified by weight status, the participants with central obesity showed highest prevalence of asthma among the three sleep duration groups. With the adjustment of confounding factors, underweight and obesity grouped by waist to height ratio and conicity index remained associated with higher risk of asthma among short and long sleepers than in optimal sleepers.
conclusionsShort and long sleepers with central obesity and underweight status were associated with significantly higher prevalence of asthma than optimal sleepers in Chinese adults.
