Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04218279 (The EMS Sleep Health and Fatigue Study), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

We sought to characterize momentary changes in fatigue, sleepiness, and difficulty with concentration during short and long duration shifts worked by emergency medical services (EMS) and fire personnel across the United States. In addition, we tested for differences in pre-shift and on-shift sleep stratified by shift duration. We examined real-time mobile-phone text message queries during scheduled shifts from the EMS Sleep Health Study, a nationwide, cluster-randomized trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04218279). Linear mixed effects models were used and Bonferroni
