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

backgroundAdolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) frequently experience insomnia (difficulty initiating, maintaining sleep or early awakening). This prevalent symptom may associate with depression, negative life events, childhood maltreatment (CM), and blood metabolic parameters. We investigated associations between insomnia, clinical features, and blood metabolic parameters in adolescents with MDD .

methodsFrom January 2021 to December 2022, 361 adolescents with MDD aged 12-18 were included in this cross-sectional study. We used the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Insomnia Severity Index Scale (ISI), the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC), and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to assess depression, insomnia, negative Life events, and CM. Additionally, we measured blood metabolic parameters Levels in 150 subjects. Finally, logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were conducted.

resultsAmong adolescents with MDD, the prevalence of insomnia was 37.4%. Compared with the non-insomnia, patients in the insomnia had a greater propensity to live in families with abnormal parental marital status, to have attempted suicide, and to exhibite higher scores on a series of scales. Further logistic regression analyses revealed that abnormal parental marital status (OR = 2.012, 95% CI = 1.127-3.592), CES-D score (OR = 1.093, 95% CI = 1.063-1.124), healthy adaptation (OR = 1.130, 95% CI = 1.402-1.226), and emotional neglect (OR = 0.941, 95% CI = 0.889-0.996) were independently associated with insomnia. When metabolic parameters were included, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (OR = 1.730, 95% CI = 1.170-2.558) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] (OR = 0.851, 95% CI = 0.758-0.954) were also identified as independent factors influencing insomnia. Additionally, ROC curve analyses showed that the model based solely on clinical features had good predictive performance for insomnia (AUC = 0.777, 95% CI = 0.730-0.825, P < 0.001). When metabolic parameters were included, the predictive performance of the model was further improved (AUC = 0.777, 95% CI = 0.730-0.825, P < 0.001).

conclusionAmong adolescents with MDD, insomnia are widespread and may correlate with depression, negative Life events, CM, TSH, and 25(OH)D. Therefore, it is necessary to consider these factors comprehensively in clinical interventions.
