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

Recurrent isolated sleep paralysis (RISP) is a rare but distressing condition characterized by episodes of temporary immobility during transitions between wakefulness and sleep. This report describes a 30-year-old female presenting frequently with nightmares, sleep paralysis, and associated stress, successfully managed with a holistic approach incorporating yoga, meditation, chanting, and vitamin D3 supplementation. The patient's significant history of osteoporosis (in February 2019, bone density T-score <-2.5; vitamin D3: 17 nmol/L), drug-resistant tuberculosis, depression, and workplace stress compounded her symptoms. After managing her with a holistic management plan, she achieved sustained remission of sleep paralysis and improved overall health with increased bone density (bone density T-score in February 2021: -2.1; vitamin D3 in February 2020: 87 nmol/L), emphasizing the importance of addressing psychological, lifestyle, and nutritional factors in such cases.
