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

The high prevalence of insomnia in cancer patients leads to a significant reduction in the quality of life of those affected. A detailed record of symptoms therefore plays an essential role for further course of treatment. Which screening instruments enable identification of cancer patients with insomnia is the subject of this single-arm nonrandomized study. During the data collection period, cancer patients meeting the following criteria: self-reported tiredness and/or trouble falling or staying asleep or sleeping too much in an electronic patient-reported outcome measurement were enrolled. For further analysis, focus was placed on the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-8), the Minimal Documentation System (MIDOS
