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
STUDY
objectivesCancer is one of the main causes of death in the world, and sleep disorders are a serious public health problem, especially in large cities; of these, insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are the most common. In the last decade, studies have pointed to a possible association between sleep disorders and cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is any association between sleep disorders and cancer.
methodsFive National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) (2005-2014) from the United States were combined in order to obtain the sample. Two main sleep variables were assessed: having trouble sleeping and/or ever telling a doctor one had a sleep problem. The odds ratio of ever having a cancer diagnosis was the main outcome. Data were analyzed by binary logistic regression models in Jamovi.
resultsThe final sample comprised 26,821 participants. Individuals who reported having trouble sleeping had an odds ratio of 1.48 (95% confidence interval = [1.336-1.646];
conclusionsIndividuals who had trouble sleeping or who had been diagnosed with a sleep disorder at any time in their life were more likely to have been diagnosed with cancer.
