1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Insomnia is a sleep disorder and the cause of many healthy problems. However, there are few studies on patients with insomnia and dreaminess at present. Therefore, this study is aimed at exploring the pathological molecular mechanisms and potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets related to insomnia patients with more dreams. Methods: Sleep characteristics of 36 primary insomnia patients with more dreams and 36 well sleeping participants were assessed using polysomnography (PSG) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Serum samples from 9 insomnia patients and 9 controls were randomly selected for proteomic detection. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between the two groups were identified; enrichment analysis and PPI network were performed. The top 10 most connected proteins in the PPI network were subjected to targeted drug prediction and screened key proteins. Proteins with targeted drugs were recognized as key proteins and subjected to ELISA detection. Results: Insomnia patients had a distinct REM behavior disorder signature compared with controls. Proteomic sequencing identified 76 DEPs. Enrichment analysis found that DEPs were significantly enriched in the complement and coagulation cascades. Metabolic responses were also activated in insomnia patients. Among the hub proteins screened in the PPI network, APOA1, APOB, F2, and SPARC may be targeted by many herbal medicines and considered as key proteins. ELISA assays validated their differential expression between insomnia and controls. Conclusion: In this study, we identified the potential key proteins of insomnia patients with more dreams. The pathological process may associate with inflammation and metabolic response. These results provide molecular targets for diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The results of our analysis suggest that the expression changes of key proteins have a good predictive diagnostic role for the occurrence of insomnia with more dreams in patients.
