1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

After describing my serendipitous discovery of sleep research as a potential career, I note how my openness and inquisitiveness led to a broad contribution to sleep science. After a PhD in biological psychology, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in alcoholism and drug abuse. This led to my first studies on rebound insomnia. I then describe early studies on the relation of sleep continuity/sleep time to daytime sleepiness and function. This led to studies of how basal sleep time/sleepiness interacts with the effects of sedating and alerting drugs. Several collaborations led to studies on sleep and hot flashes in perimenopausal women and on sleep and acute and chronic pain.
