Sleep deprivation: a risk for epileptic seizures.
Review in Sleep science (Sao Paulo, Brazil). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
There is a well-documented correlation between epilepsy and sleep deprivation. For decades, preclinical and clinical studies have shown that sleep deprivation can lead to an increased risk of epileptic seizures. Additionally, sleep deprivation has been used clinically as a diagnostic tool for epilepsy by triggering epileptiform activity. However, an underlying mechanism for this relationship is yet to be confirmed. Interestingly, a decrease in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated tonic inhibition has been shown in both epilepsy and sleep deprivation. This review focuses on the role of sleep deprivation in the induction of epileptic seizures and the possible role of reduced GABA receptor expression in the sleep-deprived state.
