The gray matter volume of bilateral inferior temporal gyrus in mediating the association between psychological stress and sleep quality among Chinese college students.
Article in Brain imaging and behavior, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The role of brain regions in the relationship between psychological stress and sleep quality is unclear. This study investigates the neuroanatomical basis of the association between psychological stress and sleep quality. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Psychosomatic Tension Relaxation Inventory, and voxel-based morphometry among 318 healthy students. The results showed that psychological stress was negatively correlated with sleep quality. According to the mediation analysis results, the correlation between psychological stress and sleep quality was partially mediated by the region of the bilateral inferior temporal gyrus. These findings suggest that there is a strong link between sleep quality and psychological stress, highlighting the gray matter volume of the bilateral inferior temporal gyrus related to emotional processing, which plays an essential role in improving sleep quality.
