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

Youth with anxiety disorders report difficulty falling asleep and returning to sleep after sleep onset (i.e., poor sleep efficiency). Anxiety sensitivity, the excessive attention to physical symptoms of anxiety and their threatening interpretations, has been linked to poor sleep efficiency. We tested a conceptual model wherein attentional control, attentional focusing and attentional shifting would account for the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and poor sleep efficiency. 255 youths (6-17 years old, 78% Hispanic/Latino) who presented to a university-based research clinic completed measures on anxiety sensitivity, sleep, and attentional control. Poorer sleep efficiency was significantly correlated with higher anxiety sensitivity and lower attentional control, attentional focusing, and attentional shifting. Higher anxiety sensitivity was significantly correlated with lower attentional control and attentional focusing. Attentional control and attentional focusing, not attentional shifting, accounted for the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and poor sleep efficiency. These findings identify attentional control and attentional focusing as variables that may explain the association between anxiety sensitivity and sleep efficiency in youth.
