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

opinion statementSleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is classified as an NREM-related parasomnia characterized by recurrent episodes of dysfunctional eating that occur after an arousal from the main sleep period with partial or complete amnesia for the event, resulting in weight gain from eating high calorie foods and causing various injuries due to consumption of inedible or toxic items. SRED can be idiopathic or commonly associated with other primary sleep disorders such as sleepwalking, restless legs syndrome (RLS), obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), other clinical conditions, or use of sedative-hypnotic medications. First-line treatment of idiopathic SRED includes selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) at mean dosages of 20 to 30 mg/day. Topiramate at 100-300 mg/day and clonazepam at 0.5-2.0 mg/day can be valid alternative options. SRED related to other parasomnias or sleep disturbances that cause sleep fragmentation benefit most from treatment of the associated sleep disorder. In particular, RLS-related SRED is best treated with dopamine agonists such as pramipexole, while sleepwalking-related SRED benefits from low-dose benzodiazepines such as clonazepam. Different kinds of drug associations have been proposed in a limited number of cases, especially in the past. We strongly recommend that all patients suffering from SRED should undergo consistent and regular follow-up about 2-3 times per year or otherwise according to the physician's judgment, in order to assess the evolution of symptom severity and frequency and re-evaluate treatment efficacy and any side effects that may arise.
