1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 terror disorder and chronic alcohol abuse are severe conditions that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Sleep terror disorder is characterized by sudden and intense episodes of fear or terror, while chronic alcohol abuse can lead to physical and psychological problems that can negatively impact sleep quality. This patient had terminal insomnia with episodes of terror, screaming, and no memory of arousal. Treatment of sleep terror disorder in chronic alcohol abuse patients involves addressing any underlying medical or psychological issues, medication, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT can help identify and dispute harmful thought patterns and teach coping mechanisms. We present a case of an adult male who had terminal insomnia with episodes of terror, screaming, and no memory of arousal.
