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
backgroundSmokers report poorer sleep than nonsmokers and sleep quality deteriorates further during cessation, increasing risk of smoking relapse. Better understanding of the relationship between sleep and relapse-related outcomes could inform novel approaches to smoking cessation support. The aim of this study was to investigate same-day associations of self-reported sleep quality and fatigue severity with factors associated with successful cessation and cessation beliefs, among regular smokers.
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study (n = 412) collected self-reported sleep quality, fatigue severity, and factors associated with successful cessation and cessation beliefs among regular smokers via an online survey (60% male).
resultsThere was evidence of an association between sleep quality (SQ) and reduced 24-hour (β = -0.12, p = .05) and lifetime (β = -0.09, p = .04) abstinence self-efficacy. In addition, poorer SQ and higher fatigue severity (FS) were associated with increased smoking urges (SQ: β = 0.27, p < .001; FS: β = 0.32, p < .001), increased barriers to cessation (SQ: β = 0.19, p < .001; FS: β = 0.32, p < .001), and increased perceived risks to cessation (SQ: β = 0.18, p < .001; FS: β = 0.26, p < .001). Fatigue severity was weakly associated with increased perceived benefits to cessation (β = 0.12, p = .017).
conclusionsSelf-reported sleep quality and fatigue severity were associated with multiple factors associated with successful cessation and cessation beliefs. Further research is needed to extend these findings by using different methods to identify the temporal direction of associations and causality. IMPLICATIONS: This study is the first to examine associations between sleep quality, fatigue severity, and factors associated with successful cessation and cessation beliefs. Findings show that both sleep quality and fatigue severity are associated with multiple factors associated with successful cessation and could be modifiable targets for future smoking cessation interventions. Furthermore, our data suggest that fatigue severity has an independent effect on multiple factors associated with successful cessation when accounting for sleep quality. This indicates that fatigue, independent of sleep quality, could be an important factor in a quit attempt.
