Altered neutrophil extracellular traps formation among medical residents with sleep deprivation.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Resident physicians on long-term night shifts often face sleep deprivation, affecting the immune response, notably neutrophils, vital to innate defense mechanisms. Sleep-deprived residents exhibit altered neutrophil counts and reduced phagocytosis and NADPH oxidase activity, critical to combating infections. Our study focused on neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a defense process against pathogens not previously linked to sleep loss. Results revealed that sleep-deprived residents exhibited a 19.8 % reduction in NET formation compared to hospital workers with regular sleep patterns (P < 0.01). Additionally, key NETs proteins, Neutrophil Elastase and Myeloperoxidase, were less active in sleep-deprived individuals (1.53mU; P < 0.01 and 0.95U; P < 0.001 decrease, accordingly). Interestingly, the ability to form NETs resumed to normal levels three months post-residency among pediatric residents. The causal relationship between reduced NETs due to sleep deprivation and the increased susceptibility to infections, as well as its implications for infection severity, is a critical area for further investigation.
