Sleep Disorders and Mental Health in Menopausal Women in Tehran.
Article in Tanaffos, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05180266 (The Effect of Therapeutic Touch and Music Listening on Sleep Quality, Menopausal Symptoms and Quality of Life in Menopausal Women), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundSleep complaints are common problems in the general population and insomnia and sleep disorders place significant economic and social burdens on the community. Postmenopausal women are 2.6 to 3.5 times more likely to develop obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared to non-menopausal women. In this study, we evaluated sleep disorders and mental health in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was a descriptive cross-sectional study and the samples were selected from postmenopausal women above 50 years who had participated in a survey entitled, "Evaluation of Sleep Disorders among Adults in Tehran" in 2017. Cluster sampling method was applied with proportional allocation. A total of 4021 samples were collected, 2075 of which belonged to women. In addition, 174 out of 2075 samples were related to postmenopausal women over the age of 50. The data were analyzed using the statistical package IBM SPSS version 22.0. P-values less than 0.05 were considered significant.
resultsIn this study, 118 (67.8%) women had insomnia for less than three months, and 23 (13.2%) women had insomnia for more than three months. The prevalence of STOPBANG parameters in this group of postmenopausal women was 37% and significantly related to Body mass index (BMI) and neck circumference at P < 0.001 and 0.006, respectively. There was no significant relationship between social dysfunction and insomnia. However, anxiety in General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was significantly associated with insomnia, sleepiness, sadness, and irritability.
conclusionOur results indicate that the impact of insomnia symptoms, OSA comorbidity and mental disorders could extend far beyond. The use of urgent health care and quality of life issues is essential for long-term mental and physical well-being; if there is no treatment in the menopause population, there will be serious mental and physical complications.
