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: Sleep quality is crucial for medical students' academic performance, cognitive function, and mental health. Poor sleep quality is prevalent among medical students, negatively impacting their well-being and future professional competence. Objective: This study assesses sleep quality problems among medical students at SRM Medical College and Research Centre, identifying key demographic factors associated with poor sleep and their potential implications. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 173 medical students. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and demographic data were analyzed to determine associations using the Chi-square test. Results: The study found that 67.63% of students experienced poor sleep quality (PSQI >5). Sex (χ² = 4.88, Conclusion: The high prevalence of poor sleep quality among medical students highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions. Strategies such as stress management programs, sleep hygiene education, and institutional policy changes could help improve sleep quality, ultimately enhancing academic performance and future patient care. Further research should explore long-term effects and intervention effectiveness to promote a healthier academic environment.
