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
backgroundInsomnia during the postpartum period has short-term and long-lasting effects on the health of the mother and her baby. Hence, this study assessed the prevalence of insomnia and its associated factors among postpartum mothers in Mattu City.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among randomly selected 451 postpartum mothers in Mattu City from May 1 to June 1, 2022. A structured questionnaire was used to conduct a face-to-face interview. Athens's Insomnia Scale (AIS) standardized tool was used to measure insomnia. EpiData version 4.4.2.1 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Factors significantly affecting insomnia were identified using a binary logistic regression analysis at a p-value of less than 0.05.
resultsThe prevalence of insomnia was found to be 29.3% (95% CI: 25, 33.5). Parity (AOR = 3.36; 95% CI: 1.88, 5.60), unplanned pregnancy (AOR = 6.15; 95% CI: 5.23, 11.55), lack of postnatal follow-up (AOR = 3.82; 95% CI: 1.85, 7.90), partner dissatisfaction with the gender of the current baby (AOR = 5.73; 95% CI: 3.23, 10.2), partner daily alcohol use (AOR = 3.12; 95% CI: 1.66), and postpartum intimate partner violence (AOR = 2.60; 95% 4.67) were found to be factors significantly associated with insomnia.
conclusionsGenerally, three in ten mothers were suffering from insomnia in the study area. Therefore, health professionals and health extension workers need to endorse and enhance the counseling of the postpartum mother and her partner jointly. In addition, the media and other concerned bodies should focus on the identified factors to overcome them.
