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.

The present study aimed to determine the insomnia status and its association with absenteeism among a selective group of Iranian healthcare providers. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 304 healthcare providers working at Imam-Khomeini hospital complex in Tehran. The study population were assessed by insomnia severity index for characterization of insomnia symptoms. The data of absenteeism was collected from the employees' attendance system of hospital's nursing and staff department. The multivariable linear regression model used for predicting determinants of insomnia and absenteeism in nursing team.
resultsDifferent degrees of insomnia was found in 79.9% of the study population, which 57.2% suffered from mild insomnia, 21.4% from moderate insomnia, and 1.3% from severe insomnia. The prevalence of insomnia was significantly higher in persons who were absent from their workplace frequently, or left because of illness. The mean days for total absenteeism in healthcare workers with moderate to severe insomnia was significantly higher than others with mild and no insomnia. In multivariate analysis, having night shifts and the severity of insomnia could predict absenteeism in studied population. DISCUSSION: A majority of healthcare workers suffer from insomnia that may lead to their work absenteeism and decreased performance. Proper administrative and individuals for management of sleep problems is required to avoid long hours of absenteeism among nursing team.
