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
INTRODUCTION/
objectivesSleep disorders affect around 50 to 70 million Americans, with chronic insomnia being the most common, especially in the elderly population. With an 11-fold increase in the US office visits due to insomnia, from 0.8 to 9.4 million, between 1993 and 2015, it is imperative to identify the modifiable risk factors. The aim of our study was to examine the association of risk factors and comorbid medical conditions with insomnia in patients 65 years, and older.
methodsWe performed a retrospective electronic medical record review of the patients aged 65 years and older, who visited our suburban internal medicine office between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. Patients were divided into insomnia group, and the group without insomnia. The associated variables were compared.
resultsAmong 2431 patients, 247 patients (10.2%) had insomnia. Mean ages of the patients in the insomnia group and the group without insomnia were comparable (77 ± 8.1 year vs 76 ± 7.5 year;
conclusionsFemale sex, dementia, depression, anxiety, chronic pain disorders, and atrial fibrillation are associated with insomnia in the elderly patients. Presence of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain disorders are associated with greater odds of having insomnia in the elderly patients.
