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

Working from home (WFH) is considered beneficial for sleep and fatigue recovery; however, it may vary according to chronotype. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between work style, sleep, and health, focusing on different chronotypes. A total of 1,114 workers completed an anonymous online survey, and 587 adult workers were included in the study. Changes in sleep and health indicators were compared by chronotype between the periods when participants worked at the workplace (WAW) every day and WFH two days or more a week. During the WFH period, sleep duration was longer and insomnia level was lower for all chronotypes than that during the WAW period. Evening chronotypes had higher risks of insomnia, poor mental health, and poor fatigue recovery during WAW than did morning chronotypes. However, regarding mental health impairment, the relationship by chronotype disappeared during the WFH period. WFH two days or more a week may provide benefits with respect to sleep and fatigue recovery, regardless of chronotype, particularly for mental health of evening chronotype; however, evening chronotypes had lower level of sleep and health than did other chronotypes, regardless of work style.
