Sleepless nights, sour moods: daily sleep-irritability links in a pediatric clinical sample.

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
backgroundSleep, or a lack thereof, is strongly related to mood dysregulation. Although considerable research uses symptom scales to examine this relation, few studies use longitudinal, real-time methods focused on pediatric irritability. This study leveraged an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol, assessing bidirectional associations between momentary irritability symptoms and daily sleep duration in a transdiagnostic pediatric sample enriched for irritability.
methodsA total of N = 125 youth (M
resultsResults from multilevel modeling dynamically linked sleep to irritability. Specifically, according to youth- and parent-report, decreased sleep duration was associated with increased morning irritability (bs ≤ -.09, ps < .049). A bidirectional association between parent-reported nightly sleep duration and anger was found-increased evening anger related to decreased nightly sleep duration, and decreased sleep duration related to increased morning anger (bs ≤ -.17, ps < .019). Trait irritability moderated this association, which was stronger for more irritable youth (b = -.03, p < .027).
conclusionsThis study adds to the literature and suggests sleep-irritability dynamics as a potential treatment target.
