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

Sleep problems are common in the elderly, affecting overall health and well-being. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test study was conducted among 50 elderly in geriatric homes of Gujarat, where participants received six weeks of horticulture therapy. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data showed significant improvement, with severe sleep problems reducing from 92% to 0% and most participants shifting to mild or moderate categories (t = 27.768, p < 0.001). Thus, we show that horticulture therapy is an effective, safe and low-cost non-pharmacological intervention to enhance sleep quality in older adults.
