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
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of chronic pain and its risk factors in patients with insomnia. Methods: We consecutively enrolled patients with chronic insomnia from Sleep Medicine Center in West China Hospital between May 2019 and February 2021. All patients were divided into two groups according to comorbid chronic pain or not. We used subjective questionnaires to assess sleep, daytime sleepiness, mood symptoms, and the characteristics and intensity of pain. Objective sleep quality was measured by polysomnography. The logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors of chronic pain. Results: Among 358 patients with chronic insomnia, 48.9% had chronic pain. These patients had significantly higher scores in Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) (all Conclusion: Nearly half of patients with insomnia are comorbid with chronic pain. Poor subjective and objective sleep quality, as well as the anxious and depressive symptoms, are risk factors of chronic pain.
