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
Purpose: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a prevalent condition affecting 2.5-5% of adults, impacting daily functioning. Sleep quality is essential for cognitive and socio-emotional well-being, and the association between ADHD symptoms and sleep disturbances necessitates identifying populations at risk. This study aimed to assess the associations between ADHD symptoms and sleep disorders by conducting a thorough assessment of sleep measures in a cross-sectional group of university students. Patients and Methods: Recruiting participants from a Turkish university (n=503; mean age=21.3 ± 1.8 years), subgroups were formed based on ADHD scores from the Adult ADHD Self-report Scale. Sleep was assessed using the Van Dream Anxiety Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was employed to evaluate depressive symptoms. Results: ADHD symptoms group exhibited higher dream-related anxiety, PSQI, ESS, and BDI scores. Nightmares were more prevalent in the ADHD symptoms group. Subjective sleep measures showed differences in various domains, emphasizing poorer sleep quality in the ADHD symptoms group. Correlation analyses revealed intricate relationships between socio-economic factors, psychiatric health, family history, ADHD symptoms, nightmares, and sleep aspects. Conclusion: University students with ADHD symptoms face increased susceptibility to insufficient sleep, impacting daytime functioning and academic performance. Findings underscore the need for increased attention to sleep health in this population.
