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

Purpose: The study was carried out to determine the COVID-19 fear and sleep quality of people with epilepsy. Methods: The data of this descriptive study were collected from November 2021 to February 2022 with 92 people with epilepsy in the neurology department of a hospital in eastern Türkiye. The Descriptive Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and COVID-19 Fear Scale were used to collect the data for the study. Results: The mean COVID-19 score of people with epilepsy was found to be 13.55 ± 7.95, and the mean sleep quality score was 1.67 ± 1.69. Significant differences were detected in the mean fear scores of people with epilepsy according to their working status and perceived health status. It was also found that there was a significant correlation between the duration of epilepsy and sleep quality ( Conclusion: It was found that the COVID-19 fear levels of people with epilepsy were at a moderate level and their sleep quality was good.
