The association between sleep quality and anxiety symptoms: a cross-sectional study based on Tibetan university students at high altitude in China.

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
Background: There have been more previous studies on sleep quality and anxiety symptoms among university students in plains areas. However, fewer studies have been conducted on Tibetan university students at high altitude. Analyzing the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety symptoms due to increased altitude may provide a reference for mental health promotion and intervention for Tibetan university students in high altitude areas. Methods: Stratified whole cluster sampling was used. The pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale was used to investigate the sleep quality of 4,777 university students at high altitude in China. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used to investigate anxiety symptoms. The chi-square test was used to compare the detection rates of anxiety symptoms among different groups, and logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between sleep quality and anxiety symptoms. Results: The prevalence of anxiety symptoms among Tibetan university students at high altitude in China was 25.7%. The detection rate of anxiety symptoms among girls (28.4%) was higher than that of boys (22.1%), and the difference was statistically significant ( Conclusion: There is a close relationship between sleep quality and the occurrence of anxiety symptoms among Tibetan university students at high altitude in China. Improving sleep quality may have a positive effect on reducing the occurrence of anxiety symptoms among Tibetan university students at high altitude.
