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
Our study aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of sleep disturbances among pregnant women in Kolar District, Karnataka, India. It focused on specific disturbances, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), insomnia, restless leg syndrome (RLS), excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and poor sleep quality across pregnancy trimesters. A cross-sectional community-based study among 251 pregnant women was conducted. Sleep disturbances using validated tools, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), STOP-Bang and single-question RLS screener tool were measured. Bivariate logistic regression was followed by multivariate logistic regression identified significant predictors. Sleep disturbances were highly prevalent, with poor sleep quality being most common (39.84%), followed by OSA (13.55%), EDS-moderate and severe category (11.56%), insomnia (9.6%), and RLS (6.80%). Proportion of pregnant women who screened positive for any sleep disturbance was 49.4%. Disturbances increased as pregnancy progressed, particularly in the third trimester. Significant predictors included increased neck circumference (aOR 1.08; Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41105-024-00556-7.
