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
introductionScabies is a contagious, infectious skin disease that is observed worldwide. Scabies affects individuals of all ages, although it exhibits significant differences between childhood and adulthood. While the number of publications documenting the co-occurrence of anxiety, depression, and impaired quality of life (QoL) in adult patients with scabies is increasing, the presence of these issues in pediatric patients remains a topic of curiosity.
objectivesIn this study, we aimed to investigate the presence of sleep disorders, QoL, anxiety, and depression in children with scabies.
methodsIn this analytical case-control study, 68 scabies patients and 69 healthy controls aged 6-17 years were included.
resultsIn patients with scabies, sleep quality was significantly poorer compared to the control group (P<0.001). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of RCADS (Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale) and total anxiety and depression scores. In the control group, the number of individuals with upper and upper-middle socioeconomic levels was higher (P=0.036). A moderate correlation was found between impairment in dermatology-related QoL and deterioration in sleep quality in patients with scabies (r=0.606, P<0.001).
conclusionThis study found that sleep disorders are common among children diagnosed with scabies, negatively impacting their QoL compared to healthy controls. We believe that obtaining information about both night and day sleep patterns during dermatological follow-ups of children diagnosed with scabies and providing recommendations on sleep hygiene as part of the treatment process may have positive effects on a child's QoL.
