Behavioral and parental predictors of infant and toddler sleep quality.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundSleep is critical for early development, yet sleep disturbances are prevalent. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Iran, cultural practices can significantly shape sleep behaviors. This study aimed to identify behavioral and parental factors associated with sleep quality among infants and toddlers aged 0-36 months in Iran.
methodsThis cross-sectional study surveyed 358 parents using the validated Persian version of the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire-Revised (BISQ-R). Multiple linear regression was conducted to examine associations between behavioral and parental factors and the BISQ-R Total Sleep Score.
resultsThe mean Total Sleep Score was 64.2 (SD = 14.3), indicating moderate overall sleep quality. The final regression model explained 28% of the variance in sleep scores (Adjusted R
conclusionModifiable behaviors, particularly screen use before bedtime and bed-sharing, were significantly associated with poorer parent-reported sleep quality in this cultural context. These findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive parental education and anticipatory guidance to support healthy sleep hygiene.
