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
backgroundPoor sleep quality in the elderly is a prevalent issue that can significantly impact overall health and quality of life. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of sleep disorders and the factors contributing to poor sleep quality among older adults in Western Iran.
methodsThis study involved 403 elderly people. The following tools were employed to collect data: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Leisure and Pleasure Activities Database (a quality-of-life tool), the standardized Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT)for cognitive assessment. A backward stepwise selection method was employed to finalize the variables for multiple logistic regression analysis.
resultsThe overall prevalence of poor sleep quality was 44.7%. With each one-point increase in stress, the likelihood of experiencing poor sleep quality increases significantly (adjusted OR: 1.09,
conclusionA significant association was observed between elevated stress levels and poor sleep quality. Interestingly, the presence of children in the household appeared to offer a protective effect. Conversely, individuals in household management roles faced a dramatically increased risk of poor sleep quality. These findings offer preliminary evidence for the potential effectiveness of early interventions and prevention strategies designed to improve sleep quality and reduce social frailty in the elderly.
