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: Bedtime procrastination refers to delaying bedtime despite the absence of external constraints and awareness of potential negative consequences. It is linked to impaired sleep, reduced well-being, and self-regulatory difficulties. Although the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS) is most widely used, no validated German version is available. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the German Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS-G). Methods: A sample of 548 German-speaking adults completed the BPS-G and measures of procrastination, self-control, affect, personality, life satisfaction, and sleep-related outcomes. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to examine the factor structure. Reliability was assessed using McDonald's omega and a six-week test-retest design. Convergent, discriminant, criterion, incremental, and predictive validity were evaluated using correlational and regression analyses. Results: Item analyses indicated satisfactory item characteristics and excellent discriminatory power. Exploratory factor analysis supported a one-factor solution explaining 59% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis largely supported the unidimensional structure (CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.92, SRMR = 0.04). Internal consistency was excellent ( Discussion: The findings provide evidence for the reliability and validity of the BPS-G. The BPS-G offers a useful tool for assessing bedtime procrastination in German-speaking populations.
