The effect of sleep disturbance trajectories on psychotic-like experiences among adolescents: the mediating role of depressive symptoms.

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
Previous work supported the opinion that sleep disturbance may cause adolescent PLEs. This study intended to evaluate the mediating effect of depressive symptoms on the relationship between change in sleep disturbance and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) among adolescents. A total of 7529 adolescents completed three web-based surveys. Surveys were administered from April 21 to May 12, 2021 (Time 1, T1), again 6 months later from December 17 to 26, 2021 (Time 2, T2), and one year later from May 17 to June 5, 2022 (Time 3, T3). A series of self-assessment scales were used to measure sleep disturbance, depressive symptoms, PLEs, and other relevant variables. Mediation analysis was utilized to examine the association between sleep disturbance trajectories, depressive symptoms, and PLEs. Five trajectories of sleep disturbance were identified: no/low (72.2%), remission (8.8%), relapsing/remitting (7.4%), new-onset (8.9%), and persistent (2.7%) trajectories. Depressive symptoms partially mediated the effects of sleep disturbance trajectories (relative to the no/low trajectory) on PLEs (95% CIs: 0.20-0.30, 0.42-0.53, and 0.41-0.58 for relapsing/remitting, new-onset, and persistent trajectories, respectively). This study reveals that the association between sleep disturbance trajectories and PLEs was partially mediated by depressive symptoms. To prevent the onset of PLEs, early screening and interventions targeting sleep disturbance and depressive symptoms are quite essential.
