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
STUDY
objectivesLiving with a chronic disease (LCD) may impact sleep in children. We aimed to compare sleep in children LCD and healthy peers.
methodsDesign: Prospective study. Children and adolescents aged 6-17 years old answered the Sleep Screening Questionnaire Children and Adolescents twice and wore actigraphy (AG) for 7 nights and at-home polysomnography for 1 night. Statistics: Unpaired 2-sampled
resultsWe included 65 LCD and 63 healthy age-matched children. Compared to the healthy peers, the 6-12 year olds LCD showed a clear tendency toward shorter total sleep time: AG: 16.1 minutes (95% confidence interval -0.3, 32.6), Sleep Screening Questionnaire Children and Adolescents: 19.9 minutes (-0.7 to 40.5), later chronotype and chronotype score: AG: 00:25 (-00:07, 00:57) and significantly longer objectively measured sleep latency (
conclusionsChildren LCD present more sleep disturbances than healthy peers, especially in the 6-12 year olds. Sleep evaluation should be considered as part of the clinical evaluation.
