Poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in medical students: role of late bedtimes.

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
objectiveThis study assessed sleep quality and habits affecting sleep among medical students in Alagoas, Brazil.
methodsAn online survey was conducted using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and a questionnaire on caffeinated beverage and calming herbal tea intake, medication use, and daily screen time was administered.
resultsA total of 165 students participated, 56.36% of whom were female. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index results showed that 58.2% were poor sleepers, 15.2% had poor sleep quality, and 26.7% were good sleepers. Only 36% met the recommended 7-9 h of sleep per day. Shorter sleep duration correlated with poorer sleep quality and increased daytime sleepiness (rho=-0.5). No significant sex differences were observed. Participants were categorized as early-to-bed (51.5%, 23.9±4.9 years; 62% women) and late-to-bed (48.5%, 23.7±5.7 years; 50% women). The late-to-bed group showed poorer sleep quality, greater daytime sleepiness, and 1.4 h less sleep than the early-to-bed group (p<0.01). A later sleep schedule was significantly associated with poorer sleep quality, shorter duration, and greater daytime sleepiness (p<0.01). The semester of study did not significantly influence bedtime (p=0.45). No significant group differences were found in beverage or medication use.
conclusionThis study highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve sleep quality and duration by addressing late bedtimes and contributing factors to daytime sleepiness.
