Weekend sleep after early and later school start times confirmed a model-predicted failure to catch up sleep missed on weekdays.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundMany people believe they sleep for longer time on weekend nights to make up for sleep lost on weekdays. However, results of simulations of risetimes and bedtimes on weekdays and weekends with a sleep-wake regulating model revealed their inability to prolong weekend sleep. In particular, they predicted identical durations of weekend sleep after weeks with relatively earlier and relatively later risetime on weekdays. In the present study, this paradoxical prediction was empirically confirmed.
methodsTimes in bed were calculated from weekday and weekend risetimes and bedtimes in pairs of samples of students with early and later school start time and in subsets of samples from 7 age groups with weekday risetime earlier and later than 7:00 a.m.
resultsAmong 35 pairs of students, mean age ± standard deviation was 14.5 ± 2.9 years and among the age group samples, 21.6 ± 14.6 years. As predicted by the simulations, times in bed on weekends were practically identical in the samples with early and later school start time and in two subsets with earlier and later weekday risetime.
conclusionsThe model-based simulations of sleep times can inform an individual about an amount of irrecoverable loss of sleep caused by an advance shift of wakeups on weekdays.
