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
Introduction: Poor sleep quality and sleep hygiene among medical students is a concern, with limited data on students from alternative medical systems. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed 1,151 undergraduate yoga and naturopathy medical students from 10 Indian colleges. A structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic and lifestyle data, while sleep quality, sleep hygiene, depression, anxiety, stress, and Internet addiction were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Logistic regression models were employed to compute adjusted odds ratios (AORs) as measures of association. Results: The average SHI and PSQI scores were 22.49 (±6.34) and 6.52 (±3.01), respectively. Poor sleep quality was reported by 59.8 and 24.7% had poor sleep hygiene. Severe depression (AOR = 5.15) and anxiety (AOR = 2.31) were linked to poor sleep hygiene, while severe stress (AOR = 0.55) was associated with poor sleep quality. Family residence was linked to lower odds of poor sleep hygiene (AOR = 0.14 for male participants, AOR = 0.26 for female participants) and better sleep quality (AOR = 1.46). Poor sleep hygiene was associated with sugary beverage consumption (AOR = 2.02), fried/packaged foods (AOR = 5.06 weekly, AOR = 8.52 daily), Internet addiction (AOR = 21.87 for male participants, AOR = 9.57 for female participants), and late device use (AOR = 3.80 for female participants). Discussion: Despite early exposure to lifestyle principles, yoga and naturopathy students experience poor sleep quality. Contributing factors include poor sleep hygiene, anxiety, stress, unhealthy eating habits, and Internet addiction. Targeted interventions are needed to improve sleep hygiene and overall wellbeing.
