The Relationship Between Epilepsy Control and the Duration of Nighttime Sleep and Afternoon Siesta.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextThe association between epilepsy control and the duration of sleep among people with epilepsy (PWE) is not well studied in Middle Eastern countries such as Oman.
aimsTo describe the sleep habits of PWE in Oman and explore the association of their sleep habits at night and afternoon siesta with the level of seizure control achieved and antiseizure medications (ASMs) consumed.
methodsThe subjects of this cross-sectional study were adult epilepsy patients attending a neurology clinic. Their sleep parameters were measured for one week using actigraphy. Home sleep apnea testing for one night was conducted to rule out obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
resultsA total of 129 PWE completed the study. Their mean age was 29.8 ± 9.2 years, and their mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.1 kg/m
conclusionThe study revealed that the sleep habits of PWE with uncontrolled epilepsy who consumed more ASMs were not significantly different from those with controlled epilepsy who consumed fewer ASMs.
