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
introductionThe outbreak of Corona Virus Disease (COVID- 19) in 2019 has continued until now, posing a huge threat to the public's physical and mental health, resulting in different degrees of mental health problems. Previous studies have shown that insomnia is one of the main influences on anxiety. However, due to the specificity of the disease and the situation of centralized treatment of COVID- 19 patients in mobile cabin hospitals, insomnia interventions are limited. Therefore, it is necessary to find the complex mediating variables between insomnia and anxiety to provide new ideas for the prevention and intervention of anxiety caused by insomnia in COVID- 19 patients.
methodsThe measurement tools were the Athens Insomnia Scale, Psychological Capital Questionna-ire, and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software, and a mediator model was established and corrected using Amos software.
resultsMore than one in five patients in this study had anxiety, and the total score was significantly higher than the Chinese standard total score. Insomnia was positively correlated with anxiety, but negatively correlated with psychological capital; and psychological capital was negatively correlated with anxiety. Psychological capital can act as a mediating factor in the relationship between insomnia and anxiety. Psychological capital played a mediating role in the relationship between insomnia and anxiety among COVID- 19 patients, that is, insomnia not only directly affected anxiety, but also indirectly affected anxiety through the mediating role of psychological capital.
conclusionIt is recommended that patients and health care professionals increase the psychological capital of COVID- 19 patients through various methods to counter the effects of insomnia on anxiety.
