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

Background: Except for one case report, there has been no published study of Lemborexant treatment for patients with insomnia in China. This study investigated efficacy and safety of Lemborexant in treating Chinese patients with insomnia. Methods: In this single-center, retrospective observational study, adult patients diagnosed with insomnia with an Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score of ≥8 who were prescribed Lemborexant at Guangzhou United Family Hospital from January 2023 to July 2024 and who had ≥2 follow-up ISI assessment(s) were included. The primary outcome was change in the ISI total score from baseline after 4 weeks of Lemborexant treatment. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were collected. Results: Forty patients with a mean baseline ISI score of 17.0 ± 3.3 were included. The treatment continuation rate during the median 8-week (range: 2-20) follow-up was 90%. The ISI total score was reduced significantly from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment (-10.2 ± 3.0, Conclusion: Lemborexant treatment was effective and safe in treating a wide variety of Chinese patients with different symptom(s) of insomnia.
