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

It has been reported that one night of acute sleep deprivation (SD) could induce brain structural changes at the synaptic and neuronal levels in animal studies, and could lead to white matter microstructure and cortical thickness change in human neuroimaging studies. In this study, we focused on changes of brain gray matter density (GMD) after one night of acute SD, which has not been explored previously. Twenty-three normal young participants completed the experiment. Each participant underwent twice T1-weighted structural image scanning with one at 08:00 after normal sleep [resting wakeful (RW)] and the other at 08:00 after 24 h of SD. Using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis by FSL-VBM software, we compared GMD between RW and SD. In addition, the gray matter volume (GMV) and cortical thickness (CT) were also calculated based on volumetric and surface measures with FreeSurfer software. The psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) and the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) were performed and evaluated for correlation analysis with GMD, GMV, and CT of the significant regions. Our results showed that the GMD in the right frontal pole (FP), right superior frontal gyrus (SFG), and right middle frontal gyrus significantly increased and GMV and CT in the right temporal pole (TP) significantly decreased after 24 h of acute SD. SD-induced changes in GMD in the right middle frontal gyrus were positively correlated with the changes of KSS scores (Spearman's correlation
