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
Aims: This study investigated whether the relationship between neuroticism and sleep quality in nursing interns is mediated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution. In addition, the study examined whether sedentary behaviour affects this mediating model. Background: The importance of sleep quality for nursing interns cannot be overstated. Previous studies have demonstrated that neuroticism negatively affects sleep quality. However, little is known about the path of the relationship between neuroticism and sleep quality among nursing interns. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Central and South China. Methods: A total of 630 nursing interns participated in this study. Neuroticism, TCM constitution, sleep quality, and sedentary behaviour were measured using reliable and valid questionnaires. Data were analysed using the PROCESS macro in SPSS. Results: Neuroticism significantly predicted the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI; β = 0.144, P < 0.001). Neuroticism exerted a significant indirect effect on the PSQI through gentleness and damp heat constitution (β = 0.265, 95 % CI [0.214, 0.315]). In addition, sedentary time moderated this mediation model. Sedentary time marginally moderated the direct pathway from neuroticism to the PSQI (B = -0.025, 95 % CI [-0.046, -0.004]) and the pathway from neuroticism to the damp heat constitution (B = 0.175, 95 % CI [0.021, 0.329]) in the nursing interns. Conclusion: TCM constitution mediates the relationship between neuroticism and sleep quality. Given the moderating effect of sedentary behaviour, targeting sedentary behaviour can be an effective approach to improve the sleep quality of nursing interns.
