Excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue in neurological disorders.
Review in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and fatigue are some of the most frequent symptoms in neurological diseases and could impact on quality of life by increasing the risk of accidents and generally affecting daily life activities. In this review, we will examine the variety of causes responsible for EDS in neurological diseases, including nocturnal sleep alterations, CNS pathological abnormalities with alterations in arousal and/or REM regulation systems, circadian rhythms disorders, drugs, and comorbid psychiatric or primary sleep disorders. Among neurological diseases, epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, and myotonic dystrophies represented a model for these interactions between EDS and neurological diseases. A complete diagnostic workup in neurological patients with EDS should be undertaken since EDS can worsen many different aspects such as psychiatric symptoms, cognitive deficit, and in some cases, the severity of the neurological disease per se. Moreover, quality of life and risk of accidents are dependent on EDS. An individualized approach to this symptom in neurological patients should be considered with a focus on modifiable causes such as SDB, psychiatric comorbidities, and drugs. When considering EDS and fatigue in neurological diseases, close attention to lifestyle and sleep hygiene is advisable. A critical review of ongoing pharmacological therapy should not be overlooked. Possible diagnosis and treatment of SDB should be always considered.
