Online screening for excessive daytime sleepiness: a feasibility study.

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
Purpose: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) can have a significant impact on health and quality of life but may remain undiagnosed due to low awareness and underestimation of the clinical impact of the symptoms. An online screening tool supported by media campaigns might increase awareness and help detect undiagnosed cases of EDS and narcolepsy. The aim of this study was to develop an online screening method, along with a media campaign focusing on EDS, and evaluate its feasibility. Methods: Online screening supported by a media campaign targeting young and middle-aged adults (18-45 years old) were developed and implemented over a period of 1 year starting from November 2022. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale was used to identify EDS, and the Swiss Narcolepsy Scale was used to identify narcolepsy. In addition, the data on sociodemographic characteristics, selected sleep and health indicators and lifestyle behaviors were collected to indicate the etiology of the EDS. Feasibility, e.g., implementation and practicality, was assessed by the response rate, response to the promotion strategy, time spent on the tool, sample characteristics, and the prevalence of identified EDS and narcolepsy cases. Results: A total of 2,390 people opened the screening link; 568 of them completed the online screening (23.8%), and most of them ( Conclusion: An online screening tool supported with a campaign seems to be a feasible way to increase awareness about EDS and prevent delayed detection of EDS cases.
