Alexithymia, impulsiveness, emotion, and eating dyscontrol: similarities and differences between narcolepsy type 1 and type 2.

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
Non-sleep symptoms, as depression, anxiety and overweight, are often encountered in narcoleptic patients. The purposes of this study are to evaluate mood, impulsiveness, emotion, alexithymia, and eating behavior in patients with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2) compared to healthy controls and to investigate possible correlations between clinical-demographic data, polysomnographic parameters, and subjective questionnaires. Consecutive patients affected by NT1 and NT2 underwent to Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale, Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and Eating Disorder Evaluation Questionnaire. Daytime sleepiness was assessed using Epworth sleepiness score. Data were compared with controls. Fourteen NT1, 10 NT2, and 24 healthy subjects were enrolled. Toronto Alexithymia Scale total score was significantly higher in NT1 than NT2. Compared to controls, NT1 patients exhibited significantly higher scores at Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. A positive correlation between hypnagogic hallucinations and Difficulties in emotion regulation was found. NT1 and NT2 share several psycho-emotional aspects, but whereas NT1 patients exhibit more depressive mood and emotion dysregulation compared to controls, alexithymic symptoms are more prominent in NT1 than NT2. Hypnagogic hallucinations, emotion dysregulation, and alexithymia appear to be correlated, supporting the hypothesis of mutual interaction of the above areas in narcolepsy.
