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
The associations of circulating trace elements with sleep health have attracted increasing attention given their potential link. However, there is scant data on the relationship between serum trace elements and abnormal sleep duration patterns in cirrhosis. We aimed to investigate these associations with the purpose of identifying modifiable risk factors. The blood samples were collected from inpatients with cirrhosis, and serum levels of several trace elements were assessed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Self-reported sleep duration was categorized to short- (< 7 h/night), optimal (7-8 h/night), and long-sleep duration (> 8 h/night). The dose-response trends and associations of trace elements levels with sleep duration were determined by restricted cubic splines (RCS) and logistic regression, respectively. Cirrhotic patients with optimal sleep duration experienced the highest levels of serum Zinc (Zn) and the lowest values of copper to zinc ratio (CZr). RCS model corroborated non-linear associations of serum Zn and CZr against sleep duration. Multiple regression analysis showed that both CZr (short vs optimal sleep duration: OR 4.785, P < 0.001; long vs optimal sleep duration: OR 4.150, P = 0.019) and serum Zn levels (short vs optimal sleep duration: OR 0.985, P = 0.040; long vs optimal sleep duration: OR 0.956, P = 0.008) serve as independent risk factors for sleep duration abnormalities. In conclusion, our findings unraveled a close relationship of serum Zn and CZr with sleep duration in cirrhosis. Further trace element-based therapy such as Zn supplementation may be novel approach to reverse this sleep problem.
