Worldwide Prevalence of Poor Sleep Quality in Adolescents Aged 10-19 Years: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Studies show significant variability in adolescent sleep quality prevalence, likely due to differing definitions of adolescence and the use of various assessment questionnaires. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of poor sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) among adolescents aged 10 to 19 years. Materials & Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were comprehensively searched until October 2, 2024. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool. The random effects model was employed to compute the pooled prevalence with a 95% confidence interval. Furthermore, subgroup analyses were conducted to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Results: This study analyzed 28 cross-sectional studies involving 191,408 adolescents aged 10-19 , with a male proportion of 46.23%. The quality of the records was moderate (n = 9) and good (n = 19). The pooled prevalence of poor sleep quality was 37% (95% CI: 30-45%) with significant heterogeneity between the studies (I Conclusion: The present study is a first for providing a comprehensive overview of the problem of poor sleep quality among adolescents, with a large sample size and consistent definitions and measurements.
