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
Aim: Teachers experience a heavy workload and mental stress, which contributes to significant sleep problems. This study investigated the relationships between sleep complaints (sleep induction, awakenings during the night, poor overall quality of sleep, and sleepiness during the day), work engagement, and workplace psychological safety in public elementary school teachers in Japan. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 96,421 elementary school teachers in Japan. Participants reported on their sleep complaints, work engagement, workplace psychological safety, and demographic and work-related characteristics (age, sex, and years of experience, working hours per day). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between work engagement, workplace psychological safety, and sleep complaints. Results: The study confirmed the high prevalence of sleep complaints among Japanese elementary school teachers. Both work engagement and workplace psychological safety were negatively associated with sleep complaints. Specifically, teachers working more than 13 h a day were significantly more likely to report complaints related to sleep induction and awakenings during the night. After adjusting for the confounding effects of working hours, the associations between work engagement, workplace psychological safety, and sleep complaints remained statistically significant. Conclusion: The findings suggest that addressing teachers' sleep complaints requires not only alleviating workload but also fostering a supportive organizational environment that promotes work engagement and workplace psychological safety. These insights can inform the development of policies and support measures to improve teachers' working conditions and overall well-being.
