A crossover study evaluating the sex-dependent and sensitizing effects of sleep deprivation using a nociceptive test battery in healthy subjects.
Trial report in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimWe assessed whether total sleep deprivation (TSD) in combination with pain tests yields a reliable method to assess altered pain thresholds, which subsequently may be used to investigate (novel) analgesics in healthy subjects.
methodsThis was a two-part randomized crossover study in 24 healthy men and 24 women. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to first complete a day of nonsleep-deprived nociceptive threshold testing, followed directly by a TSD night and morning of sleep-deprived testing, or first complete the TSD night and morning sleep-deprived testing, returning 7 days later for a day of nonsleep-deprived testing. A validated pain test battery (heat, pressure, electrical burst and stair, cold pressor pain test and conditioned pain modulation [CPM] paradigm) and sleep questionnaires were performed.
resultsSubjects were significantly sleepier after TSD as measured using sleepiness questionnaires. Cold pressor pain tolerance (PTT, estimate of difference [ED] -10.8%, 95% CI -17.5 to -3.6%), CPM PTT (ED -0.69 mA, 95% CI -1.36 to -0.03 mA), pressure PTT (ED -11.2%, 95% CI -17.5% to -4.3%) and heat pain detection thresholds (ED -0.74 °C, 95% CI -1.34 to -0.14 °C) were significantly decreased after TSD compared to the baseline morning assessment in the combined analysis (men + women). Heat hyperalgesia was primarily driven by an effect of TSD in men, whereas cold and pressure hyperalgesia was primarily driven by the effects of TSD observed in women.
conclusionsTSD induced sex-dependent hyperalgesia on cold, heat and pressure pain, and CPM response. These results suggest that the TSD model may be suitable to evaluate (novel) analgesics in early-phase drug studies.
