1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundInfants frequently experience sleep problems in early childhood. Poor infant sleep can impact not only infants' cognitive development but also maternal sleep and maternal mental health. Studies have reported associations between infant sleep and maternal sleep and between infant sleep and maternal depression. However, methods utilized in these studies are unable to disentangle the directionality of these relationships. The purpose of this study was to assess the bi-directional relationships between child sleep, maternal sleep, and maternal depression in the first two years of life in a multi-ethnic Asian cohort. Data were drawn from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) cohort. Child nighttime sleep duration, maternal sleep (PSQI), and maternal depression scores (BDI) were assessed at 26 weeks gestational age, and when the child was 3, 12, and 24 months old in 1,131 children. We used autoregressive latent trajectory modeling with structured residuals (ALT-SR) to assess associations. Higher maternal depression scores at 3 months were predictive of longer nighttime sleep duration when the child was 12 months (BDI
