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
backgroundSleep problems and anorexia problems are common in patients with heart failure (HF). The relationship between sleep quality and anorexia has not been previously investigated among patients with HF.
objectiveIn this study, our aim was to determine whether the association of sleep quality with anorexia was mediated by anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with HF.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted using a paper-based questionnaire between January 1 and March 30, 2024. Data collection included 3 components: demographic and clinical characteristics, and standardized psychological assessments, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Functional Assessment of Anorexia/Cachexia Therapy-Anorexia Cachexia Subscale. Partial correlation analysis was performed using SPSS, and mediation analysis was conducted with the PROCESS macro.
resultsThe mean PSQI score was 7.69 (±4.13), and the mean scores for anxiety and depressive symptoms were 9.42 (±4.56) and 9.71 (±4.67), respectively. The mean Functional Assessment of Anorexia/Cachexia Therapy-Anorexia Cachexia Subscale score was 24.56 (±5.62), with a significant proportion of participants exhibiting anorexic behaviors. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations between sleep quality, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and anorexia. Mediation analysis demonstrated that anxiety and depressive symptoms significantly mediated the relationship between sleep quality and anorexia, with anxiety accounting for 43.61% of the total indirect effect.
conclusionsPoor sleep quality is prevalent among patients with HF and is significantly associated with anxiety, depressive symptoms, and anorexia. Anxiety and depressive symptoms mediate the impact of poor sleep quality on anorexia, with anxiety symptoms exerting a stronger effect. Addressing sleep disturbances and psychological distress may help mitigate anorexia and improve clinical outcomes in patients with HF.
