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

Purpose: This randomized, controlled, crossover, within-subjects study investigated effects of a gently vibrating sleep mask on objectively measured sleep outcomes. Methods: Adults with mild sleep difficulties ( Results: When wearing the vibrating mask compared to the control mask, controlling for baseline, participants objectively spent more time in bed (+ 11.11 min), slept longer (+ 11.87 min), increased deep sleep (+ 3.09 min), and spent less of the night in light sleep (-1.8% relative difference). Conclusions: A mask administering gentle vibration may be associated with improved sleep outcomes among adults with mild sleep difficulties.
