1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundParents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems can experience challenges and negative health effects. The aim of this study was to explore parents' own health-related experiences as their child with ADHD and sleep problems underwent a sleep intervention with a weighted blanket.

methodsA convergent mixed methods design was undertaken. Sociodemographic and questionnaire data were collected from 68 parents at baseline and at the 16-week follow-up. Paired-samples

resultsAt the follow-up, parents reported improvements in their own health status (EQ-5D-3L-index 0.83 ± 0.15 vs. 0.87 ± 0.13;

conclusionsThe findings suggest that sleep interventions for children with ADHD and sleep problems may also be associated with positive changes in aspects of parents' health, well-being, and family life.
