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
backgroundSleep disturbances are common and symptomatic burden in patients with breast cancer, but they are poorly documented and managed in routine clinical practice. This descriptive and cross-sectional study evaluated factors associated with post-treatment sleep disturbances in patients with breast cancer. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients with breast cancer who underwent standard treatment were enrolled and surveyed for their basic demographic data and precancerous and cancer treatment-related factors; they were also administered self-report questionnaires including the Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve questionnaire; Impact of Event Scale; Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; and Maudsley Personality Inventory. Their sleep disturbances were evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Independent sample
resultsIn total, 448 patients, including 145 with PSQI ≤ 5 and 303 with PSQI > 5, completed the investigation. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that significantly more patients with sleep disturbances demonstrated psychological distress, severe pain, depression, and impact of stress events than patients without sleep disturbances (adjusted odds ratios [95% confidence intervals]: 2.83 [1.135-7.067],
conclusionPatients with breast cancer showed 67.6% prevalence of sleep disturbances after treatment. The patients with sleep disturbances were more likely to have previously experienced psychological disturbances, severe pain, depression within 5 years after diagnosis. After diagnosis for more than 5 years, higher distress caused by traumatic events still associated with sleep disturbances.
