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

(1) Background: Insomnia is one of the most prevalent sleep disorders worldwide and a growing public health concern, yet the combined contribution of psychological and demographic factors remains understudied in Latin America. This study aimed to examine how perceived stress, generalized anxiety, and sociodemographic variables predict insomnia severity in Ecuadorian adults. (2) Methods: A community sample of 698 participants (31.7% men; M = 25.6 years, SD = 10.4) completed an online survey during nationwide electricity blackouts in 2024. Measures included the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and a demographic questionnaire. Hierarchical linear regressions were conducted to evaluate the relative contribution of predictors. (3) Results: Demographic variables (age, sex, employment status, and socioeconomic level) were not significant predictors of insomnia severity (R
