Correlation of Various Sleep Patterns on Different Types of Memory Retention: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Sleep has a substantial impact on memory consolidation, although the link between specific sleep patterns and different forms of memory retention is not well-understood. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the correlation between varying sleep habits and memory recall. To identify pertinent research published between 2017 and 2023, a thorough check of electronic databases was carried out. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed articles published in English, focusing on human participants, and investigating the relationship between sleep patterns and memory retention. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed on selected studies. This research used different strategies and examined several forms of memory retention, including declarative memory, procedural memory, and emotional memory. Several sleep patterns, including sleep duration, sleep stages, and sleep continuity, were investigated. This comprehensive study demonstrated the relationship between adequate sleep duration and memory consolidation, particularly in regard to declarative memory. Furthermore, deep sleep, characterized by slow-wave sleep (SWS), has been associated with superior procedural memory retention. Sleep continuity, as evaluated by reduced sleep fragmentation or undisturbed sleep, influenced memory consolidation across multiple categories of memory. However, the relationship between rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and memory retention remains inconclusive due to conflicting findings. This systematic review emphasizes the significance of various sleep patterns in memory retention. Memory consolidation corresponds with adequate sleep length, deep sleep (or SWS), and sleep continuity. Future research ought to investigate the connection between REM sleep and memory retention. Understanding the impact of specific sleep patterns on memory processes might help guide therapies and interventions to improve memory consolidation and overall cognitive functioning.
