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
Paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) presents different effects on metabolism and neurological functions. In addition, over long duration, sleep restriction (SR) can promote permanent changes. The prostate is an endocrine-dependent organ with homeostatic regulation directly related to hormone levels. Our study proposed to demonstrate the experimental prostatic effects of PSD (96 h), PSD with recovery (PSR - 96/96 h), and sleep restriction (SR - 30 PSD cycles/recovery). PSD and SR promoted decrease in serum testosterone and significant increase in serum and intraprostatic corticosterone. In agreement, androgen receptors (AR) were less expressed and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) were enhanced in PSR and SR. Thus, the prostate, especially under SR, demonstrates a castration-like effect due to loss of responsiveness and sensitization by androgens. SR triggered an important inflammatory response through enhancement of serum and intraprostatic pro- (IL-1α, IL-6, TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines. Furthermore, the respective receptors of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1RI and TNF-R) were highly expressed in the prostatic epithelium and stroma. PSR can partially restore prostate homeostasis, as it restores testosterone and the prostate proliferation index, in addition to promoting balance in the inflammatory response that is considered protective. PSD and SR are key factors in the endocrine axis that coordinate prostatic homeostasis, and significant changes in these factors have consequences on prostate functionality.
