Large-scale structure and individual fingerprints of locally coupled sleep oscillations.
Article in Sleep, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 oscillations and sleep spindles, the canonical electrophysiological oscillations of nonrapid eye movement sleep, are thought to gate incoming sensory information, underlie processes of sleep-dependent memory consolidation, and are altered in various neuropsychiatric disorders. Accumulating evidence of the predominantly local expression of these individual oscillatory rhythms suggests that their cross-frequency interactions may have a similar local component. However, it is unclear whether locally coordinated sleep oscillations exist across the cortex, and whether and how these dynamics differ between fast and slow spindles, and sleep stages. Moreover, substantial individual variability in the expression of both spindles and slow oscillations raises the possibility that their temporal organization shows similar individual differences. Using two nights of multichannel electroencephalography recordings from 24 healthy individuals, we characterized the topography of slow oscillation-spindle coupling. We found that while slow oscillations are highly restricted in spatial extent, the phase of the local slow oscillation modulates local spindle activity at virtually every cortical site. However, coupling dynamics varied with spindle class, sleep stage, and cortical region. Moreover, the slow oscillation phase at which spindles were maximally expressed differed markedly across individuals while remaining stable across nights. These findings both add an important spatial aspect to our understanding of the temporal coupling of sleep oscillations and demonstrate the heterogeneity of coupling dynamics, which must be taken into account when formulating mechanistic accounts of sleep-related memory processing.
