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
Objectives: Insomnia, characterized by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, affects a significant portion of the global population. Bedtime procrastination, which is a voluntary delay in going to bed, is a major contributing factor to the prevalence of sleep deprivation in modern societies. Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang (HJD decoction) has shown promise in improving the symptoms of insomnia. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HJD decoction in patients with insomnia and bedtime procrastination. Methods: This study employs a parallel-group design, comparing HJD decoction to usual care in a 11 ratio. Sixty participants with insomnia and bedtime procrastination will be enrolled. The experimental group will receive HJD decoction for 4 weeks, while both groups will undergo a brief behavioral treatment for insomnia. The primary outcome will be the change in the Insomnia Severity Index score (ISI) from baseline to 4 weeks. Secondary outcomes include sleep diary metrics, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS). The exploratory outcomes include perceived stress, anxiety, smartphone use, and heart rate variability. Conclusion: This trial examines the role of herbal medicine in treating a specific type of insomnia that is increasingly common in modern society. The combination of HJD decoction with behavioral intervention offers a comprehensive approach to treating insomnia complicated by bedtime procrastination. The results will provide valuable insights into integrative treatment strategies for sleep disorders in the digital age.
