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: Insomnia has emerged as a major concern among youth following the lifting of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restrictions in China. This study aimed to explore the prevalence and influencing factors of insomnia, as well as its associations with mental health, in young students during this period. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 82,873 students in Sichuan Province, China, using a self-designed questionnaire and standardized assessment tools. Chi-square tests, ANOVA with Results: A total of 28,178 (34.0%) students reported insomnia. Self-reported history of mental disorders, neglectful parenting, and initiating alcohol consumption during the pandemic were associated with higher odds of insomnia, whereas satisfaction with the academy, full recovery of daily routines, greatly improved family relationships, no change in friendships, and higher maternal education were associated with lower odds of insomnia ( Conclusion: Following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, insomnia remained prevalent among young Chinese students. Preexisting self-reported mental disorders, neglectful parenting, and pandemic-related maladaptive behaviors increase the risk of insomnia, whereas positive lifestyle adjustments, stable relationships, and higher maternal education appear protective. A significant association was observed between insomnia severity and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. These findings highlight the persistent links among social, behavioral, and demographic factors, sleep, and mental health, emphasizing the importance of addressing sleep disturbances after the public health crisis.
