Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Many studies have reported the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rhythms and sleep in various populations. Particularly in frontline healthcare workers, which are highly susceptible to developing sleep disturbances. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and determinants of sleep disturbances in healthcare workers at the regional Hospital Hassan II in Agadir, Morocco. Methodology: A cross-sectional study among frontline healthcare workers was conducted at the Regional Hospital in Agadir, by administering an online questionnaire using the Google Forms platform distributed through social media. The questionnaire was anonymous, and data confidentiality was assured. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 21. Results: A total of 54 healthcare professionals filled in the questionnaire. The mean age was 28.81±05.35, The two-thirds were female participants (59.3%), and the mean Epworth score was 07.53±04.05, High prevalence rates of sleep disorders were reported as follows; sleep onset insomnia (27.4), excessive daytime sleepiness (24.1), snoring (24.1).We found that morning headaches and concentration difficulties are factors associated with sleep disorders among healthcare workers. Conclusion: COVID-19 has a high risk of poor sleep quality, with many consequences. Measures to improve the sleep and well-being of healthcare workers are needed.
