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
This study aimed to examine the effects of "adaptive" bedtime routines on a child's well-being, either directly or indirectly through sleep health. A web-based survey was conducted on 700 adults (321 male, 379 female, mean age = 39.98 years, SD = 6.33 years) responsible for preschool children aged 4-6 years old. Results of the mediation analysis showed that the bedtime routines index (BTR-Index[S]) could not confirm any significant regression coefficient with the total disturbance score of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ_TDS) (β = -0.063, p = 0.094) and the total sleep disturbance of Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ_TSD) (β = -0.013, p = 0.736) in a single regression analysis. Sobel's test did not confirm any significant indirect effect (Z = -0.337, p = 0.736). As exploratory examination of the relationships between each of the items of BTR-Index(S) with SDQ_TDS and CSHQ_TSD, multiple regression analysis showed a significant positive partial regression coefficient for "Reading/sharing a story before bed" (β = 0.228, p = 0.006) and a significant negative partial regression coefficient for"Avoiding the use of electronic devices before bed" (β = -0.222, p = 0.011) towards CSHQ_TSD, with no significant partial regression coefficient identified for SDQ_TDS in any of the items. These findings suggest that bedtime routines do not directly either indirectly, through their sleep health, affect a child's well-being. However, caregivers' deliberate attempt to avoid stimuli that increases children's wakefulness before bedtime may serve as protection for the child's sleep health.
