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
Adolescent sleep deprivation has become a growing public health concern, with recent national surveys reporting sharp declines in sleep duration alongside rising rates of depressive symptoms. This study investigates the correlation between average sleep duration and depression prevalence among U.S. high school students using 10 years (2013-2023) of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). A Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong positive association between inadequate sleep and depressive symptoms (r = 0.9010, p = 0.014), with statistical significance defined as p < 0.05. These findings indicate that shorter average sleep duration is significantly associated with a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms among adolescents. While the results do not imply causation, they underscore the importance of monitoring adolescent sleep patterns as a potential correlational indicator of mental health risk in youth populations.
