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: Sleep disorders affect an individual's mental and physical health and vice versa. Sleep medicine is underrecognized as a specialty; therefore, many sleep disorders go undiagnosed. This study is aimed at assessing the knowledge of medical students toward circadian neuroscience and sleep disorder based on biomedical diagnosis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in both male and female medical colleges from the third to the sixth year. A self-administered structured questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic data and the Assessment of Sleep Knowledge in Medical Education (ASKME) survey assessed the students' general knowledge and attitude towards sleep disorder and sleep medicine. Chi-square/Fisher exact tests were used to analyse the participants' knowledge level toward specific sociodemographic data. Also, for two-level continuous variables, the Wilcoxon two-sample test was used. Results: The total number of participants was 296, with 154 female and 142 male participants. The prevalence of inadequate knowledge was considerable with 96.62% of students, compared to adequate knowledge with only 3.38%. The students' attitude to sleep medicine was negative 14.53% and positive among 85.47%. We found that gender was significantly associated with attitude with a Conclusion: This study concluded that medical students possess inadequate knowledge regarding sleep medicine, yet they have a positive attitude towards it.
