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
Steatosis is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its developing is closely associated with insulin resistance. Shortened sleep has adverse effects on hepatic steatosis and the underlying mechanism remains unknown. We conceived to evaluate whether sleep duration was a lifestyle factor modifying the association between insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis and whether it was varied in different status of metabolic disturbances. We performed a cross-sectional analysis on 2264 adults of United States representing a population of 138,319,512 with MetS or pre-MetS from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-March 2020. Participants underwent hepatic transient elastography and laboratory tests. The sleep duration was obtained from interviews. Results showed that insulin resistance was significantly associated with hepatic steatosis among participants with metabolic disturbances (OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.30-2.65). Significant moderation of sleep duration on the association between insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis was observed when sleep duration was dichotomized by 6.5- (P = 0.042) or 9.5-hour (P = 0.031). The risk of hepatic steatosis associated with insulin resistance was increased when sleep duration was ≤ 6.5 h and > 9.5 h. Furthermore, the moderation effect of 6.5-hour sleeping was only significant among participants with pre-MetS while that of 9.5-hour sleeping was only significant among participants with MetS. In conclusion, insufficient or excessive sleep increased the risk of hepatic steatosis associated with insulin resistance. Appropriate sleep duration was advocated and varied in different status of metabolic disturbances. Ensuring adequate sleep should be highlighted before MetS occurs and excessive sleep should be prevented for participants with MetS.
