Experimental sleep restriction increases somatic complaints in healthy adolescents.
Trial report in Sleep medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Short duration sleep and somatic complaints (bodily complaints like aches/pains or GI distress) are common in adolescence and may be linked, yet no published studies have tested causation. In this study, healthy adolescents (n = 30; 14-18yrs) completed a three-week, within-subject cross-over experiment. Following a sleep stabilization week, adolescents were randomized (in counterbalanced order) to five nights of 6.5hrs in bed (Insufficient Sleep) or 9.5hrs in bed (Sufficient Sleep), each preceded by a two-night "washout." Somatic complaints were assessed via the Children's Somatic Symptoms Inventory (CSSI-24) and the Pain and Symptom Assessment Tool (PSAT) concluding each condition. Adherence to experimental condition was confirmed via actigraphy. Adolescents slept two fewer hours and reported significantly greater frequency and severity of somatic complaints during the Insufficient Sleep (vs. Sufficient Sleep) condition. Restricting sleep opportunity to a level common in adolescence causally increased somatic complaints in otherwise healthy adolescents. Findings support clinical and preventative efforts to address pervasively inadequate sleep in adolescence.
