1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveResearch conducted with socially anxious youth suggests that there is an increased risk for poor sleep quality; however, this link is not consistent across the few studies and there is evidence to suggest that poor sleep quality may increase the risk for elevated social anxiety symptoms. The present study investigates both prospective and reciprocal associations between levels of self-reported social anxiety and global sleep quality while also distinguishing between within-person and between-person variations in these associations. METHOD AND MEASURES: Community-recruited adolescents from the United States (

resultsFindings indicated a positive relation between social anxiety and poor sleep quality at both within- and between-person levels. Higher levels of social anxiety were associated with poorer sleep quality three months later, but the reverse relation was not observed.

conclusionsThese findings provide evidence supporting the link between elevated social anxiety symptoms and future sleep problems among adolescents and lay groundwork for investigation of mechanisms driving this link. Findings suggests a need to screen for and treat sleep problems in socially anxious youth.
