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
Over the past century, sleep has transitioned from the domain of artists, poets, and philosophers to the realm of scientists and clinicians. In the 20th century, pioneering sleep researchers and clinicians advanced their respective fields by forming organizations such as the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). For 50 years, the AASM has played a leading role in creating and shaping the field of sleep medicine, leveraging the multidisciplinary expertise of its members to forge a new medical specialty. The organization emerged from a meeting in 1975, where academics whose research focused on sleep gathered to evaluate the necessity of establishing a new professional society to represent the nascent sleep disorders centers that were beginning to open across the country. The formation of the AASM was led by Dr. William Dement and other pioneers who played crucial roles in establishing the field through the clinical application of sleep research. Through the AASM, they created the building blocks of a medical specialty by developing accreditation and certification programs, diagnostic classifications, clinical practice guidelines, clinical training programs, peer-reviewed scientific journals, and a clinical and scientific meeting. Their persistent efforts eventually secured for the sleep medicine specialty both national recognition and broad acceptance within the medical community. Today, the field of sleep medicine remains strong as sleep physicians and other members of the clinical sleep team provide high-quality, comprehensive care for patients who have sleep and circadian disorders. Built on this solid foundation, the AASM and its members will continue to shape the future of sleep medicine. CITATION: Malhotra RK, Heffron TM, Rosen IM, Quan SF, Kushida CA, Epstein LJ.
