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
purposePoor sleep health is associated with lower positive mood in adolescents, and more variable sleep is associated with more negative mood. There is a lack of research on the associations between sleep variability and positive mood in adolescents. We investigated whether several types of sleep variability, measured with actigraphy, were associated with positive mood reported on a daily diary in adolescents.
methodsData were collected from a substudy of the Year 15 wave of the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (n = 580; 53% female, mean age ± standard deviation [SD] = 15.4 ± 0.5 years, range 14.7-17.7). Adolescents wore an actigraphy device (M ± SD = 5.6 ± 1.4 nights per adolescent, range: 3-10) and completed daily diaries (M ± SD = 5.5 ± 1.4 days per adolescent, range: 3-9) for ∼1 week, where they rated their levels of happiness and excitement during that day from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Happiness and excitement were averaged into "positive mood." Separate linear regression models assessed whether actigraphy-measured variability of sleep duration, onset, and offset (residual individual standard deviation, riSD), sleep regularity index, social jetlag, and free night catch-up sleep were associated with average positive mood per person. Analyses adjusted for age, birth sex, race/ethnicity, household income, and the primary caregiver's education level.
resultsGreater variability in sleep duration (p = .011, β = -0.11) and lower sleep regularity index (p = .034, β = 0.09) were associated with lower ratings of positive mood. There were no other significant associations (p ≥ .10). DISCUSSION: Variable and irregular sleep are associated with lower levels of positive mood in adolescence, which may increase the risk of poor emotional health in adulthood.
