Insufficient sleep and obesity: cause or consequence.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sleep is an ancient and evolutionarily conserved biological process that, when disturbed, increases the risk for a variety of diseases in people, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and cancer. Although results from epidemiological studies support the link between insufficient sleep and an increased risk of obesity, the directionality of this link is unknown. Results from short-term controlled clinical studies, conducted almost exclusively in people who are normal weight, demonstrate that sleep restriction increases hunger, appetite, energy intake, and body weight. However, the authors are not aware of any studies that have evaluated the effect of more than 3 weeks of experimental sleep restriction on obesity risk factors, and few studies have been conducted in people with preexisting obesity. This Perspective reviews the link between insufficient sleep and obesity risk and the potential therapeutic effects of sleep extension in people with chronic sleep insufficiency.
