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
Background Patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) have a poor quality of life because of various clinical effects. The sleep quality among these patients is affected and they encounter challenges to sleep and wakefulness due to physiological imbalance and co-morbid sleep pathologies. The present study was conducted to ascertain the sleep quality in type 2 DM patients attending a tertiary center in West Bengal. Methodology It was a hospital-based cross-sectional study that was conducted among old/follow-up patients who were suffering from DM. The eligible subjects were selected by systematic random sampling and were interviewed using a semi-structured and pre-tested questionnaire. Information pertaining to socio-demographic characteristics and sleep quality was ascertained. The sleep quality was assessed by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 and statistical association of different parameters was tested using Chi-Square test. Results A total of 192 subjects were selected for study. Maximum subjects were above 50 years. A total of 102 males and 90 females participated in the study. A total of 110 subjects were poor sleepers (i.e. PSQI score ≥5) while 82 were good sleepers(PSQI<5). Poor sleepers were maximum in the 20-35 years age group, more in females and unemployed individuals. Subjects with poor diabetes control, i.e. HbA1C more than 7gm/dl were poor sleepers. Conclusions A higher proportion of patients with type 2 DM had poor quality of sleep. It is important on the part of the health personnel to attend to the sleep issues and impaired quality of life due to sleep inadequacy in DM patients.
