Impact of sleep quality on disease progression in early-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Non-motor symptoms are clinical manifestations of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, few studies have examined these symptoms in patients with early-stage ALS. We conducted a cross-sectional study to explore non-motor symptoms in 69 patients with ALS within 18 months of disease onset. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to evaluate sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and anxiety and depression, respectively. Differences in the abovementioned non-motor symptoms between ALS patients and age-/sex-matched caregivers were examined, and correlations between these symptoms and the clinical features of ALS were analyzed. Compared to caregivers, ALS patients were more likely to report poor sleep [odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 2.664, 1.276-5.560;
