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

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have more sleep disturbances than typically developing children. These sleep disturbances have been suggested to be associated with atypical sensory features in children with ASD. Sleep habits have also been linked to intelligence and cognitive function in children. However, it remains unclear whether sleep disturbances in children with ASD are related to intelligence or sensory features. This study examined whether sleep disturbances in children can be explained by the presence or absence of ASD characteristics, sensory features, and cognitive skills. Sleep disturbances and atypical sensory features were determined using the Japanese Sleep Questionnaire for Preschoolers and the Caregiver Sensory Profile, as reported by their caregivers. Cognitive skills were assessed using the Japanese translation of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. Consequently, children with below-average cognitive scores demonstrated that higher sensory scores were associated with poorer sleep quality; children with above-average cognitive scores showed no such patterns. These findings may aid in the development of support for sleep disturbances in various subtypes of ASD.
