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
introductionDaytime dysfunction is a significant manifestation of sleep problems in adolescents, which increases individuals' negative emotional experiences by weakening their cognitive regulation and social adaptation. Meanwhile, emotional distress, such as depressive and anxiety symptoms, may further exacerbate daytime dysfunction, creating a negative cycle. Therefore, the present study employed a longitudinal follow-up design to explore the bidirectional relationship between daytime dysfunction and depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents.
methodsThis three-wave longitudinal study used stratified random sampling to recruit 936 adolescents (50.96% girls; mean age = 14.37 ± 1.32 years) from four secondary schools in Bengbu, Anhui Province, China. Data were collected between September 2023 and September 2024 at 4-month intervals. Standardized questionnaires measured daytime dysfunction, social ostracism, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms. Random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) were used to examine within- and between-person associations and to test the longitudinal mediating roles of two distinct forms of social ostracism.
resultsAt the between-individual level, the results indicated a significant positive association between daytime dysfunction and depressive and anxiety symptoms (r = 0.319-0.495, p < 0.001), and a significant positive association between social ostracism and depressive and anxiety symptoms (r = 0.120-0.504, p < 0.05). The link between social ostracism and daytime dysfunction was weaker, mainly involving social rejection. At the within-individual level, social neglect at T2 significantly mediated the longitudinal relationship between daytime dysfunction at T1 and anxiety symptoms at T3.
conclusionsThese findings suggest the negative impact of daytime dysfunction on adolescents' depressive and anxiety symptoms and highlight the role of social neglect in social ostracism on this influence.
