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.

In the first comprehensive examination of its kind, we investigated the association between maternal depression and preschoolers' sleep problems, as well as factors that influence children's sleep.

Mothers reported on their children's duration of daytime activity and screen time. Thirty-two percent of mothers had more than minimal depressive symptoms. Path analysis revealed that children's emotional and behavioral problems, and sleep problems were associated with maternal depression (
