Parasomnias related to shift work disorder among medical residents during the first year of training in Mexico.
Article in Sleep and biological rhythms, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Shift work disorder (SWD) may affect medical residents because their workload, academic demands and extended work hours. This condition set residents at risk of more sleep disorders. The study compared parasomnias among residents with and without shift work disorder (SWD) and weighed their relative risk (RR) for each parasomnia. One hundred twenty-six residents participated in the study. The Munich Parasomnia Screening questionnaire and the Barger Questionnaire for SWD were used for the screening of parasomnias and SWD, respectively. Means and percentages of studied variables were compared between groups. Relative risk (RR) was calculated for each type of parasomnia. The more frequent parasomnias in residents with SWD the RR (and 95% confidence intervals) were: sleep terrors, 5.60 (1.84-17.01); confusional arousals, 3.73 (1.84-7.56); sleep paralysis, 3.27 (1.53-6.93); hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations, 2.55 (1.03-6.28); somniloquies, 2.45 (1.21-4.92); and nightmares, 2.01 (1.54-2.62). Our data suggest that residents who experience SWD may be at risk of having lower threshold for the occurrence of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep parasomnias. Additional research is needed to confirm these results, and to further identify the contribution to this association.
