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

In today's fast-paced and demanding working society, promoting wellbeing has become increasingly important. While sleep quality is widely recognized as a critical determinant of wellbeing, the specific pathways linking the two remain underexplored, particularly in high-stress occupational settings. Understanding these associations may enable the development of more effective strategies for promoting wellbeing in this population. Recently, work performance (presenteeism) has garnered attention for its potential intermediary role, as it may play a pivotal role in supporting employees' wellbeing. At the same time, work performance itself is known to be closely related to sleep disturbances. However, the mediating effect has not been thoroughly examined. This study aimed to investigate whether presenteeism serves as a link in the association between sleep quality and wellbeing in a working population. A total of 129 high-stress office workers in Japan participated in this observational study. Sleep quality, presenteeism, and wellbeing were assessed using validated measures, and mediation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro with bootstrap samples to estimate indirect associations. Results revealed associations between sleep quality and presenteeism (
