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

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired psychosomatic functioning, and a reduced quality of life. We identified several factors influencing life satisfaction and suggested ways to improve it in patients with narcolepsy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to measure life satisfaction in patients with narcolepsy and to examine the interdependence of various factors related to life satisfaction using path analysis. A questionnaire was administered to 87 individuals diagnosed with narcolepsy. A hypothetical model was tested to determine its effect on life satisfaction. The results of the path analysis were
