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
Introduction: the role of stress in inducing bedtime procrastination is a new research topic that has emerged in recent years. This study aimed to explore the psychological mechanism by which perceived stress affects bedtime procrastination in Chinese college students in a life history framework. Methods: first, we investigated whether life history strategy mediate their relationships. Then, we examined whether distress tolerance moderated the direct effects of perceived stress on bedtime procrastination and/or the indirect effects of them mediated by life history strategy. The data of 1021 college students were analyzed. Results: the results showed that: (1) perceived stress had a significant predictive effect on bedtime procrastination; (2) life history strategy played a mediating role in the relationship between perceived stress and bedtime procrastination; (3) distress tolerance moderated the indirect effect between them mediated by life history strategy, but not the direct effect between them. Discussion: the present study suggested that life history-based interventions might be an effective intervention for stress-induced bedtime procrastination. Specifically, it might be helpful for alleviation of bedtime procrastination to develop slow life history strategy, when faced with similar stressful situations in the future. Furthermore, distress tolerance may be an important alternative target.
