[Disturbances of slow-wave sleep and psychiatric disorders].
Article in Der Nervenarzt, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Slow-wave sleep is defined as sleep stages 3 and 4 that characteristically show slow delta EEG activity during polysomnography. The percentage of slow-wave sleep normally declines with age. Sleep disorders are a common symptom of many psychiatric disorders. In polysomnographic recordings they mostly manifest as disturbances of sleep continuity. In some disorders changes in REM sleep are also found. A reduction of slow-wave sleep has most often been described in patients with depression and addictive disorders. More recent research implicates slow-wave sleep as an important factor in memory consolidation, especially the contents of declarative memory. Psychotropic drugs influence sleep in different ways. Hypnotic substances can reduce the deep sleep stages (e.g. benzodiazepines), whereas 5-HT2C antagonists increase the percentage of slow-wave sleep. Whether a selective impairment/alteration of slow-wave sleep is clinically relevant has not yet been proved.
