Effect of sleep duration on child development in Fortaleza, Northeastern Brazil.
Article in Jornal de pediatria. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe present study's objective is to assess whether sleep duration affects Early Childhood Development (ECD). A prospective cohort study was carried out with 278 mother-child dyads in the city of Fortaleza, northeastern Brazil, with data collection every 6 months.
methodThe data used in this study are from the third (18 months) and fourth (24 months) survey waves. Information on sleep duration was collected using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) and information on ECD using the Caregiver Reported Early Development Instrument (CREDI). Crude and adjusted regression models were run for each CREDI domain as an outcome with 5 % significance.
resultsThe authors found that after adjusting for maternal age and schooling, family income, and the presence of other children in the house, night sleep duration was associated with better ECD scores (cognitive: coef. 0.14; 95 % CI 0.04,0.24; language: coef. 0.10; 95 % CI 0.01,0.19; motor: coef. 0.10; 95 % CI 0.03,0.18; socio-emotional: coef. 0.16; 95 % CI 0.06,0.25; overall: coef. 0.14; 95 % CI 0.04,0.24), and the time awake at night associated with worse scores (cognitive: coef. -0.12; 95 % CI -0.23,0.02; motor: coef. -0.09; 95 % CI -0.17,-0.01; socio-emotional: coef. -0.11; 95 % CI -0.21,-0.01; overall: coef. -0.11; 95 % CI -0.21,-0.01).
conclusionsNocturnal sleep duration affects ECD as expressed in all CREDI scores (cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional, and overall).
