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

objectiveTo identify key factors affecting sleep quality among Chinese college students.

designSystematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42023486000) following the 2020 PRISMA guidelines.

settingStudies related to sleep quality among Chinese college students. Data sources and participants: CNKI, VIP, WanFang, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched from inception to October 2025.

resultsFifty-four studies (total N = 61,254) were included. Poor sleep quality was positively associated with mobile phone addiction (WMD = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.22-2.48,

conclusionMultiple modifiable factors - including mobile phone addiction, presleep electronic device use, unhealthy diet, smoking and alcohol use, stress, anxiety, and academic stress - are associated with poor sleep quality among Chinese college students. Given the limited certainty and observed heterogeneity/publication bias, longitudinal studies are needed to strengthen causal inference; associations for physical inactivity, depression, and staying up late remain inconclusive.
