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
objectiveTo analyze the factors associated with sleep quality and duration in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 595 mothers (37±7yrs) of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (8.1±3.1yrs). The assessed sleep parameters included sleep quality and duration. Mothers reporting poor sleep quality and those who did not sleep between seven and nine hours per night were considered at risk. Demographic data (age, education, income, marital status, and number of children), child-related data, comorbidities (overweight, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, heart disease, depression symptoms, and anxiety), and lifestyle factors (physical activity, sedentary behavior, and smoking) were evaluated.
resultsForty-four percent of mothers reported poor sleep quality, and 70.4% did not achieve the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Factors associated with poor sleep quality included being unmarried [Odds-ratio(OR): 2.152; 95% confidence interval (95%CI)= 1.332-3.478], heart diseases (OR=4.859; 95%CI=1.153-20.471), depression symptoms (OR=3.833; 95%CI=(2.273-6.464), sedentary behavior on weekdays (OR=2.293; 95%CI=1.335-3.938), dissatisfaction with their child's therapy (OR=1.990; 95%CI=1.214-3.262), and inadequate sleep duration (OR=9.025; 95%CI=4.661-17.473). Inadequate sleep duration was associated with depression symptoms (OR=1.965; 95%CI=1.290-2.993), age (OR=1.051; 95%CI=1.152-2.517), number of children with autism spectrum disorder (OR=3.574; 95%CI=1.152-.517), total number of children (OR=1.655; 95%CI=1.089-2.517), and poor sleep quality (OR=6.259; 95%CI=3.843-10.193).
conclusionMost mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder experience poor sleep quality and inadequate sleep duration. Demographic data, child-related data, heart disease, depressive symptoms, and sedentary behavior were associated with inadequate sleep.
