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
Introduction: Psychological well-being is crucial for nursing students, who often face academic and clinical stressors that disrupt their sleep patterns. Insomnia severity, sleep hygiene, and sleep locus of control are key sleep-related factors that potentially influence mental health. However, the combined effects of these factors on psychological well-being remain underexplored, particularly among Indian nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 418 nursing students from two nursing colleges in Northwestern India. Data were collected using validated instruments measuring insomnia severity (Athens Insomnia Scale), sleep hygiene (Sleep Hygiene Index), sleep locus of control (Sleep Locus of Control Scale), and psychological well-being (WHO-5 Well-Being Index). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation, two-stage cluster analysis (hierarchical and k-means), and multiple linear regression, with statistical significance set at Results: Three distinct sleep profiles were identified: insomnia-prone (21.3%), intermediate (51.4%), and adaptive (27.3%). The Insomnia-Prone cluster exhibited the highest insomnia severity, poorest sleep hygiene, least adaptive sleep locus of control beliefs, and lowest psychological well-being. The Adaptive cluster showed the most favorable sleep characteristics and highest well-being. Regression analysis revealed that insomnia severity ( Conclusion: The three distinct sleep profiles identified in this study highlight the differential vulnerability of psychological well-being across the student population. Sleep-related behavioral and cognitive factors are associated with the psychological well-being of nursing students. Addressing maladaptive sleep patterns through tailored interventions could support the psychological well-being of nursing students.
