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
Background: Evidence suggests a potential association between alcohol consumption and sleep quality. However, knowledge of this association among adolescents in China is limited. Thus, this study aims to investigate the association between alcohol consumption and sleep quality in a group of adolescents in China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province in China from October 2021 to December 2021. Alcohol consumption refers to drinking more than half a bottle/a can of beer, a small cup of white wine/foreign wine and a glass of wine/rice wine/fruit wine/highland wine at a time in the past year. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) with a cutoff >5 indicating sleep disturbance. Multivariable logistic regression models were utilized to estimate the association. Results: A total of 2,505 adolescents were included in the analysis. Among them, the mean age was 14.36 years (SD 1.74); 58.08% were male, and 41.92% were female. The overall drinking rate was 26.07%, and the median score of PSQI was 5. The interquartile distance of the PSQI global score was 4. Multivariable logistic regression illustrated that alcohol consumption exhibited positive significant associations with poor PSQI scores (OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.52-2.35) compared with good scores. Conclusion: Alcohol consumption is associated with poor sleep quality in adolescents in China accounting for socioeconomic contexts and psychosocial stressors. The findings underscore the public health urgency of addressing alcohol drinking behaviors to mitigate sleep disturbances in adolescents. Further studies need to be performed to explore the causality between alcohol consumption and sleep quality in adolescents. Frequency and dosage of alcohol consumption need to be considered to explore dose-response relationships.
