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
backgroundInsomnia is among the most common sleep disorders worldwide. Insomnia in older adults is a social and public health problem. Insomnia affects the physical and mental health of elderly hospitalized patients and can aggravate or induce physical illnesses. Understanding subjective feelings and providing reasonable and standardized care for elderly hospitalized patients with insomnia are urgent issues.
aimTo explore the differences in self-reported outcomes associated with insomnia among elderly hospitalized patients.
methodsOne hundred patients admitted to the geriatric unit of our hospital between June 2021 and December 2021 were included in this study. Self-reported symptoms were assessed using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7), Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15), Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH), Barthel Index Evaluation (BI), Morse Fall Scale (MFS), Mini-Mental State Examination, and the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36). Correlation coefficients were used to analyze the correlation between sleep quality and self-reported symptoms. Effects of insomnia was analyzed using Logistic regression analysis.
resultsNineteen patients with AIS ≥ 6 were included in the insomnia group, and the incidence of insomnia was 19% (19/100). The remaining 81 patients were assigned to the non-insomnia group. There were significant differences between the two groups in the GDA-7, GDS-15, MUNSH, BI, MFS, and SF-36 items (
conclusionThe number of self-reported symptoms was higher among elderly hospitalized patients with insomnia. Therefore, we should focus on the main complaints of patients to meet their care needs.
