Association Between Fermented Food Consumption and Sleep Quality Under Psychological Stress: Prospective Cohort Study.

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
Sleep quality might be dependent on the gut-brain axis that employs gut microbiota. As, in adulthood, diet has the greatest influence on microbiota, the aim of the study was to investigate whether the consumption of fermented food was associated with sleep quality among medical students under exam stress. A prospective cohort questionnaire-based study was conducted online on a group of medical students under exam stress from the Medical University of Lodz, Poland. The participants were asked to provide information regarding their health and sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI) in the last week before the exam. During the 4 days before the exam, the participants were recording the consumption of various types of food and beverages, including fermented food. The study sample was 280 medical students (their mean age was 22.63, 172 were female). Students whose fermented food consumption was found in the second tercile had higher sleep quality under stress (mean PSQI 5.13) than students in the first (mean PSQI 5.73) and third (mean PSQI 6.17) terciles of fermented food consumption (
