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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the unique characteristics and clinical significance of the nocturnal sleep onset rapid eye movement period (nSOREMP) in the Chinese population with narcolepsy, enhancing our understanding and management of the disorder globally.
methodsThis retrospective analysis investigated narcolepsy in Chinese patients from six hospitals, using the
resultsThe study found a 2.51% nSOREMP prevalence in other sleep disorders in the Chinese Clinical Sleep Database. Significant differences in age, N2 and rapid eye movement percentages, rapid eye movement latency, and various indexes were noted among patients with narcolepsy with or without nSOREMP and other sleep disorders with nSOREMP in the Chinese Clinical Sleep Database. nSOREMP prevalence in narcolepsy type 1 was 33.33% and in narcolepsy type 2 was 28.30%. Noteworthy disparities in narcolepsy type 1 included N2 percentages, rapid eye movement latency, and SOREMPs on Multiple Sleep Latency Test. In narcolepsy type 2, differences were significant for age, sleep latency, N2 and rapid eye movement latencies, arousal index, mean sleep latency on the Multiple Sleep Latency Test, and Multiple Sleep Latency Test SOREMPs.
conclusionsThis study highlights the distinct characteristics of nSOREMP in the Chinese population. Patients exhibiting symptoms suggestive of the onset of narcolepsy are advised to undergo a Multiple Sleep Latency Test, irrespective of the occurrence of SOREMP during nocturnal polysomnography.
