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
introductionAlthough sleep disturbance is a community problem, there is limited study in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the prevalence and factors affecting postpartum poor sleep quality in women.
methodA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 1st to August 30th, 2021 in Gondar city. The cluster sampling method was used to address 858 study participants. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) 19-item self-report measure of sleep quality over the past month was used to measure maternal sleep quality during the postpartum period and a global PSQI score of 5 or more was used to indicate poor sleep quality. Binary logistic regression was used to identify variable association and 95% confidence level and adjusted Odds Ratio were used to declare association.
resultPoor sleep quality prevalence during postpartum period was 24.0% (95%CI: 21.3-26.9). factors significantly associated with poor sleep quality were family size [AOR = 1.76; 95% CI: (1.14-2.73)], unplanned pregnancy [AOR = 2.11; 95%CI: (1.17-3.80)], had a family history of mental illness [AOR = 3.70; 95%CI: (2.15-6.37)], had known medical disorders [AOR = 2.59; 95%CI: (1.51-4.43)], having intimate partner violence [AOR = 2.58; 95%CI: (1.78-3.75)], and women who can read and write and who complete secondary school [AOR = 2.60; 95% CI: (1.20-5.66)] and [AOR = 2.02; 95%CI: (1.16-3.53)] respectively. On the other hand, being housewife, merchant, and government-employed [AOR = 0.32; 95%CI: (0.14-0.73)], [AOR = 0.13; 95%CI: (0.05-0.34)], and [AOR = 0.38; 95%CI: (0.14-0.98)] respectively were identified to be factors significantly associated with poor sleep quality.
conclusionPoor sleep quality prevalence is high in the community of Gondar city. Thus, setting strategies to increase women's educational level, providing health education programs to create awareness on the consequence of intimate partner violence which could reduce the violence; increasing screening for medical disorders before or during maternity period, preventing unplanned pregnancy with effective family planning method, and employing women in a certain organization will have a great role in reducing poor sleep quality.
