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

Research has demonstrated various negative effects of poor sleep on overall health in children. Engaging in physical activity during the day is often recommended to help children sleep better. Limited research has examined this recommendation for preschool children, although physical activity is generally supported as a healthy sleep practice. When measuring physical activity and sleep, objective measures (e.g., accelerometers) are recommended as opposed to subjective measures (e.g., parental reports). The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between objectively measured sleep (key variables included sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, and sleep duration) and physical activity (operationalized as mean daily total physical activity) among preschool-aged children in Nova Scotia, Canada.
