Short-term trigeminal neuromodulation does not alter sleep latency in healthy subjects: a pilot study.

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
It has been reported that during and/or after acute trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) a state of sedation, decreased attention and vigilance, with a tendency to fall asleep, occurs. Whether these effects are due to a hypnotic action of TNS is yet to be demonstrated. This pilot study investigates whether acute TNS affects the latency of sleep using the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) in healthy subjects. MSLT was performed in 14 healthy subjects after 20 min of real- and a sham-TNS, delivered in two different sessions. Mean latency of sleep across the five naps accorded and the latency of sleep for each nap was determined. All subjects reported a state of relaxation or drowsiness after the real-TNS session. Repeated-measures ANOVA showed no significant differences in sleep latency between the real and sham conditions. The sedative effects of acute TNS do not seem associated to a hypnotic effect.
