Sleep patterns among middle school students: a three-year longitudinal study in the context of China's "Double Reduction" policy.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: This longitudinal study aims to describe the sleep pattern trajectories among Chinese middle school students over a three-year period. Methods: From December 2021 to December 2023, 82 middle school students were monitored for 2 weeks per academic year for a period of 3 years using the Huawei Band 6 wearable devices, and sleep parameters were collected at each stage and statistically analyzed. Results: For 82 middle school students, their sleep onset time gradually delayed over the years, leading to a yearly decrease in night sleep duration (Grade 7: 452.3 ± 32.4 min; Grade 8: 432.9 ± 38.6 min; Grade 9: 420.4 ± 37.9 min, Conclusion: This study indicates that middle school students experience a gradual decrease in sleep duration over 3 years. Schools are advised to delay morning start times and enhance sleep hygiene education for students and parents as part of measures to address insufficient sleep among students.
