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
backgroundSleep quality significantly impacts health-related quality of life (QoL). However, the link between sleep quality and QoL needs further exploration, especially in the context of Saudi Arabia.
objectiveTo assess the effect of sleep quality on QoL among visitors of lifestyle clinics at the National Guard primary healthcare centers in the Western region of Saudi Arabia in 2023.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 369 participants. Data were collected using a questionnaire that addressed sociodemographic characteristics, sleep quality, and perceived QoL. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while QoL was measured using the Short Form-20 (SF-20) QoL scale. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).
resultsThe median age of participants was 38 years, and the median PSQI score was 9, indicating poor sleep quality. Significant differences in sleep quality were found relating to gender and income. Male gender and low-income status were associated with lower sleep quality. The scores for sleep quality varied between 3 and 16, with a median score of 9, while QoL scores ranged from 34 to 92, with a median score of 72. Good sleep quality was found only among 4.9% of the participants and was associated with higher QoL scores. The correlation between sleep quality and QoL was significant, with a correlation coefficient of -0.399 (p-value < 0.001).
conclusionThe study identifies a significant correlation between poor sleep quality and lower QoL among visitors of lifestyle clinics in the Western region of Saudi Arabia. These findings suggest the necessity of addressing sleep quality in interventions aimed at improving overall well-being.
