Patterns of Sleep and Napping in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-sectional Evaluation.
Article in Saudi journal of medicine & medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07515417 (Effect of Magnesium Supplementation on Sleep Quality and Cognition in Saudi Adults), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.

Abstract
Objectives: Most people in Saudi Arabia reside in population-dense cities and may be predisposed to poor sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the self-reported sleep and napping patterns in a convenient cross-sectional sample of adults living in Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, information related to sleep quantity and quality during workdays and weekends were collected from adults living in four major cities of Saudi Arabia: Makkah, Jeddah, Riyadh and Taif. Demographic, anthropometric, behavioral, socioeconomic, and comorbidity status were also collected. Standardized tools for screening common sleep complaints (i.e., the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Insomnia Severity Index, and the STOP-BANG questionnaire) were included. Results: Participants ( Conclusion: People living in Saudi Arabia tend to sleep late and have a short nighttime sleep duration and regular long daytime napping. On weekends, these variables change toward the recommended range (i.e., increased nighttime sleep duration and decreased napping count and duration).
