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
Background Sleep disturbances are frequently associated with upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, data from Indian settings remain limited. This study aimed to assess the proportion and predictors of poor sleep quality among adults with upper GI symptoms. Methodology A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Bhopal, India, from November 2019 onwards. Adults presenting with upper GI symptoms were assessed using the GERD-Q, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of poor sleep quality (PSQI score >5). Results Among 500 participants (mean age = 38.1 ± 14.7 years; 62.6% male), 69.9% (306/500) had poor sleep quality. Female gender (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.07, p = 0.017), tobacco use (aOR = 2.47, p = 0.003), being underweight (body mass index <18.5 kg/m²; aOR = 2.43, p = 0.043), and moderate depression (PHQ-9 score of 10-14; aOR = 2.64, p = 0.033) were significant predictors (N = 306/500). While GERD symptoms were common, GERD diagnosis (GERD-Q score ≥8) was not an independent predictor after adjustment. Conclusions Poor sleep quality is prevalent among patients with upper GI symptoms and is influenced by gender, lifestyle, nutritional status, and psychological well-being rather than GERD alone. Integrated care approaches addressing these factors are essential for improving sleep health in this population.
