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 magnitude of poor sleep quality among people with asthma is widespread and has detrimental consequences, including a higher chance of having poor work performance, an increase in the frequency of asthma attacks, an increase in the need for overnight hospitalization, and a worse health related quality of life. However, it has not been well studied, especially in low-income countries like Ethiopia. This study's objective was to assess the degree of sleep quality and related factors among people with asthma who had follow-up visits at public hospitals in the East Gojjam Zone.
methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 406 people with asthma through consecutive sampling techniques at public hospitals in East Gojjam Zone from June 6 to July 1, 2022. Sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index through a face-to-face interview, and the collected data were entered into Epi Data version 4.4.2 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Logistic regression was fitted to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. Variables with a P-value <0.05 in multivariable logistic regression were considered statistically significant for the dependent variable.
resultsAmong participants, 64.5% had poor sleep quality. Having anxiety (AOR = 2.67), comorbidity (AOR = 3.11), poor sleep hygiene practices (AOR = 2.99), severe asthma (AOR = 2.31), very poorly controlled asthma (AOR = 4.00) and current alcohol use (AOR = 3.20) were associated with poor sleep quality.
conclusionThe magnitude of poor sleep quality was high in this study. Severe asthma, having comorbidity, very poorly controlled asthma, poor sleep hygiene practices, having anxiety symptoms and current use of alcohol were variables associated with poor sleep quality. Reduction in alcohol consumption, improving sleep hygiene practices, and treating comorbidities would be effective measures for improving poor sleep quality. Individuals with severe asthma and uncontrolled asthma symptoms need special attention.
