Sleep Spindles and Auditory Sensory Gating: Two Measures of Cerebral Inhibition in Preschool-Aged Children are Strongly Correlated.

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
introductionSleep spindles and P50 sensory gating are both reflective of cerebral inhibition, however, are differentially active during different phases of sleep. Assessing whether sleep spindles and P50 sensory gating correlate is a first step to evaluate whether these 2 forms of cerebral inhibition reflect overlapping neural circuits.
methodsEEG data were collected between midnight and 6:00 AM on 13 healthy preschool-aged children. P50 sensory gating, calculated during REM sleep, negatively correlated with spindle duration (r=-.715, p=.006) and inter-peak density (r=.744, p=.004). There was a trend toward higher S2/S1 ratios being associated with fewer peaks per spindle (r=-.546, p=.053). In 4-year-olds, 2 established physiological measures of sensory gating and are correlated despite being maximally active during different stages of sleep.
conclusionsThese results suggest there is an overlap in brain mechanisms underlying each gating mechanism.
