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
Introduction: Sleep disorders are prevalent and significant among individuals receiving methadone maintenance treatment (MMT), adversely affecting their quality of life and treatment adherence. While cerebral blood flow (CBF) plays a crucial role in the development of various diseases, its relationship with sleep disorders remains uncertain. This observational study focuses on possible correlations between CBF and poor subjective sleep quality in MMT patients. Methods: A total of 75 participants with a history of MMT were recruited and assessed using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging to determine CBF. A LAASO regression model was employed to identify the region of interest (ROI) most associated with sleep disturbance. The association between the CBF of the ROI and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was examined using regression analyses. Age, gender, BMI, history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and methadone withdrawal were included as covariates. Results: Among MMT patients with poor subjective sleep quality, significantly higher CBF was observed in the right paracentral lobule (56.1057 ± 11.1624 ml/100 g/min, Conclusion: MMT patients with poor subjective sleep quality exhibited significantly altered CBF in multiple brain regions. The association between increased CBF in the right paracentral lobule and subjective sleep quality in MMT patients could be crucial in understanding sleep disorders in individuals undergoing MMT.
