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.

2 · The registry

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: This cross-sectional study investigated the association between the sleep quality and mental health among medical students in Himachal Pradesh, India. Methods: Using standardized instruments Pittsburgh sleep quality index and depression anxiety stress scale-21 (PSQI and DASS-21), we assessed 400 medical students. Results: Results revealed that 76.75% of students were poor sleepers (PSQI >5), with a mean global PSQI score of 7.91 ± 3.85. Mental health assessment showed 63% experiencing anxiety, 32% stress, and 27% depression. Multinomial logistic regression revealed significant associations between the sleep latency and mental health outcomes, with increased sleep latency raising odds of depression (22%), anxiety (28%) and stress (35%). Conclusion: Poor sleep especially sleep latency strongly predicted mental health problems among medical students.
