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
Purpose: Sleep is fundamental to the healthy development of preschool children, yet sleep problems are prevalent. Parenting practices are known to be one of the determinants of child sleep, but evidence of large-scale sample in China is limited. We aimed to investigate the association between specific sleep-related parenting practices and sleep problems in Chinese preschoolers. Patients and Methods: The Chinese cohort of the SUNRISE study was conducted, involving 1316 children aged 3-4 from 49 kindergartens, covering seven major administrative regions of China. Parents or primary caregivers completed a questionnaire which records children's sociodemographic information and sleep-related parenting practices. Children's sleep problems were evaluated using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). Linear mixed models were used to calculate the association between parenting practices and specific sleep problems, adjusting for potential covariates. Results: Thirteen percent demonstrated sleep problems (total CSHQ score >54). Girls had greater rate of daytime sleepiness, while the 3-year group had a greater rate of overall sleep problems. After adjusting for covariates, parents using electronic devices during the bedtime routine were associated with children's short sleep duration on weekdays (β=-0.314, CI -0.505~-0.123, Conclusion: This study demonstrates that sleep-related parenting practices, including parental screen exposure and co-room/bed sleep arrangements are significantly associated with sleep problems in Chinese preschoolers. These findings help parents to establish a healthy sleeping environment for their children.
