Efficacy of a Combination Therapy for Difficulties Waking Up in Non-School-Attending Students.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
School non-attendance due to difficulties waking up is increasing in Japan, and affected students are commonly diagnosed with orthostatic dysregulation (OD); however, OD-associated sleep problems are overlooked. To date, no sleep-medicine-based treatment for wake-up difficulties in non-school-attending students has been established. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a novel combination therapy for these students. We assessed the combined effect of sleep hygiene guidance, low-dose aripiprazole administration (3 mg/day), and blue-light exposure on wake-up difficulty in 21 non-school-attending teenage patients. The patients were evaluated using sleep studies and questionnaires before and after treatment. The average subjective total sleep time calculated from sleep diaries before treatment in the patients was 10.3 h. The therapy improved wake-up difficulty by 85.7% and further improved school non-attendance by 66.7%. The subjective sleep time significantly decreased by 9.5 h after treatment (
