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

Background: Poor Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 378 medical students using a structured questionnaire. Data were collected using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Statistical analyses including confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), independent samples Results: The prevalence rates of poor sleep quality (67.2 %), depression (55.8 %), anxiety (58.7 %), and stress (38.6 %) were significantly high among medical students in Bangladesh. The CFA test recommended a three-factor model for DASS-21 and a two-factor model for PSQI. A moderately positive association was found between sleep quality and depression, anxiety, and stress. Independent samples Conclusions: Psychological distress, excessive time spent on social media, and online games negatively influence sleep quality, while being a male, smoking, and having career-building opportunities positively influence sleep quality. Interventions aimed at reducing stress and promoting healthy sleep practices are urgently needed within medical institutions.
