Sleep during "lockdown" highlighted the need to rethink the concept of weekend catch-up sleep.

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
purposeMany people believe in their ability to sleep for longer time on weekends to make up for sleep lost due to early wakeups on weekdays. This widely held belief was not supported by the simulations of rise- and bedtimes on weekdays and weekends with a sleep-wake regulating model. The simulations suggested the inability to extend sleep on any of two weekend nights and they predicted identical weekend sleep durations for weeks with relatively earlier and relatively later weekday risetimes. By April 2020, about half of the world's population was under some form of "lockdown" due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This "lockdown" provided a new opportunity to demonstrate the predictive power of the sleep-wake regulating models. Therefore, the purpose of this report was to support the prediction of identity of weekend sleep durations after weeks with earlier and later weekday wakeups.
methodsWeekend and weekday rise- and bedtimes before and during "lockdown" for 31 samples were taken from recent journal publications. Time in bed on weekends and 12 other measures of sleep duration and timing were calculated and simulated.
resultsFor only one of 13 measures, weekend time in bed, statistical analysis did not yield a statistically significant difference between the estimates obtained before and during "lockdown". The model-based simulations pointed to the 0.3-h delay of the sleep-wake cycle in response to the 1-h delay of weekday risetime during "lockdown".
conclusionThe model-based prediction was confirmed, thus, highlighting again the necessity to rethink the concept of weekend catch-up sleep.
