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

purposeTo investigate the characteristics and associated factors of insomnia in patients with gynecological cancer.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 195 gynecological cancer patients with insomnia. In addition to sleep quality, general information, gynecological cancer information, concomitant symptoms and biological indicators were investigated.

results① 77.43% of patients were rated as "poor" or "very poor" in terms of sleep quality, with difficulty falling asleep being the main type of insomnia. ② The sleep quality of gynecological cancer patients was related to cancer type, cancer stage, number of chemotherapy cycles, Karnofsky Performance Status score, depression, anxiety, fatigue, pain, and follicle-stimulating hormone. ③Fatigue (OR = 9.228, CI = 2.198-38.750) and pain (OR = 5.077, CI = 1.321-19.515) were significant associated factors for the aggravation of insomnia.

conclusionGynecological cancer patients exhibit high levels of insomnia. Particular attention should be paid to patients with fatigue and pain, with interventions targeting reduction in sleep latency. Clarifying insomnia characteristics and associated factors is helpful to improve sleep quality and provide evidence-based insights for clinical management of gynecological cancer.
