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
backgroundThis study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep-related variables and academic performance in Spanish Language and Mathematics among adolescents from a Colombian public school. MATERIALS AND
methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted, which included 185 students (12-18 years, both sexes) from a Colombian public school. Two questionnaires were applied to obtain the data: the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Academic performance was measured using final and subject-specific grades in Spanish and Mathematics. Bivariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to explore associations between sleep variables and academic outcomes, adjusting for age and sex.
resultsBivariate analyses revealed significant negative associations between sleepiness and key academic performance indicators, including final average grade, Spanish language average grade, and annual average grade. By contrast, no significant associations were observed between overall sleep quality and academic performance. When controlling for confounding variables in multivariate regression analyses including sleepiness, age, and sex showed that the previously observed associations between sleepiness and academic performance were attenuated and no longer statistically significant. These findings suggest that the effect of sleepiness on academic outcomes may be influenced by age, indicating increased somnolence among older adolescents.
conclusionDaytime sleepiness, rather than subjective sleep quality, appears to negatively influence academic performance in adolescents, particularly in language-related outcomes. Interventions to reduce sleepiness may enhance educational achievement. Longitudinal studies using objective sleep measures are recommended to clarify causal pathways linking sleep, cognition, and learning.
