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
objectiveSleep quality is essential for health, and sleep deprivation is linked to physical and mental issues. Homeless populations face additional sleep challenges, yet this topic remains underexplored. This study assessed sleep quality among homeless individuals in Sa˜o Paulo, Brazil, considering demographics and substance use.
methodsA psychiatrist conducted interviews to collect demographic and substance use data assessing sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A generalized linear model was used to analyze PSQI scores, considering sleeping location, sex, substance use, and interactions as fixed factors, with homelessness duration as a covariate. The sample comprised 177 participants (22% female, of whom seven were transgender; mean age: 42.8 6 11.4 years), with an average homelessness duration of 10.5 (SD, 8.4) years (range: 1-40). Among them, 33% slept in shelters, 83% used depressants, 83% used stimulants, and 59% used hallucinogens.
resultsApproximately 67% reported good subjective sleep quality (mean PSQI: 4.9 6 2.7). Depressant and stimulant use correlated with poorer sleep. Women had poorer sleep, longer sleep latency, and greater daytime dysfunction than men.
conclusionPositive sleep quality reports may reflect adaptive expectations from prolonged adversity and substance use. The findings highlight the need for improved shelters and targeted interventions to address sleep challenges in this vulnerable population.
