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

Depression, anxiety, and stress are major mental health challenges during children's development. In China, heightened sleep disorders (SD), parental expectations, and academic stress highlight the importance of this issue. A total of 6,635 SD child-parent dyads were included in analysis. Sleep quality and psychological variables were assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Children with SD exhibited significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, stress and life dissatisfaction. We identified the core and bridge symptoms within the Chinese children mental health symptoms and explored their associations with parental mental health. Worthlessness and palpitations, exhibiting the highest centrality values, were identified as core symptoms in the SD group. Palpitations were associated with elevated parental anxiety and stress. Impending collapse associated with parental anxiety, emerging as a bridge symptom may aggravate the occurrence of depression, anxiety and stress comorbidity in children. These symptoms provide theoretical basis for the targeted psychological intervention of Chinese children with SD in the future.
