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
Objective: The impact of partial hospitalization programs (PHP) for adolescents with mental health difficulties has remained unclear, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined changes in mental health symptomatology among youth in an in-person PHP. Specifically, this study examined whether the COVID-19 pandemic or sex moderated the effect of insomnia on irritability, anxiety, depression, and suicidality among youth in an in-person PHP. Method: A retrospective study of 271 adolescents (aged 11-17 years) treated in a PHP before (n = 99) and during (n = 172) the COVID-19 pandemic from January 2019 through December 2021 was conducted. The conditional process moderation path analytic regression model assessed whether changes in insomnia symptoms were moderated by both COVID-19 (pre- COVID-19 and during COVID-19 time periods) and sex. Results: A significant positive linear relationship was observed between changes in insomnia symptoms and changes in depressive, anxiety, and irritability symptoms among female adolescents, both before and during the COVID-19 period. A similar relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation was observed among female adolescents, albeit only in the pre-COVID period. However, no significant interaction effects were identified between insomnia and group (pre- vs during COVID-19) or between insomnia and sex, suggesting that neither the pandemic nor sex moderated these associations. Conclusion: This study highlights the impact of sleep disturbance on mental health symptoms particularly among female adolescents, in the context of an in-person PHP, both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PHP appeared to be equally effective in managing these symptoms in both the before and during the COVID-19 period. These findings provide a foundation for future research regarding the role of partial hospitalization programs in addressing adolescent mental health during global crises.
