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
Sleep disturbances in persons living with cognitive impairment (PLWCI) may impose a great burden on caregivers. We examined the association between sleep (objective sleep quality and quantity; subjective sleep impairment, quality, and daytime sleepiness) in PLWCI and caregiver depression, mastery, and burden via secondary analysis of Healthy Patterns baseline data (n = 209). Objective sleep variables included total sleep time and sleep efficiency derived from PLWCI using 3 nights of actigraphy. Subjective sleep measures included PROMIS Sleep Related Impairment, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale, filled out by the caregiver describing the PLWCI sleep. Caregiver measures included Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Caregiver Mastery Scale and Zarit Burden Interview. PLWCI were primarily female (66.5%) and Black (64%), with a mean age of 73.6 ± 8.6. Caregivers were mainly female (81%) and family caregivers (67%), with a mean age of 56.6 ± 14.7. After controlling for PLWCI cognition, age, and gender, poorer PLWCI sleep quality was significantly associated with more caregiver depression (β = 0.387, p = 0.029); worse PLWCI sleep impairment was associated with worse mastery (β = 0.104, p = 0.004). Poor PLWCI sleep quality was associated with lower caregiver mastery; the effect was larger for females than males. PLWCI being less sleepy during the day (β = 0.104, p = 0.055) and having worse sleep impairment (β =-0.163, p = 0.039) were both associated with more caregiver burden. There is a critical need to address the effects of PLWCI sleep disruption on caregivers in dementia care services.
