Can sleep affect destination memory? A prospective narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The destination memory is the ability of individuals to remember to whom the information has been delivered. The memory system is an essential and critical piece of social communication and human social cognition. Previously, research has been done on the relationship between source memory and sleep which are critical and fundamental processes influencing our daily lives. However, this present prospective narrative review sheds light on the idea of beginning new research to understand the relationship between destination memory and sleep. Although no such literature exists that can explain this relationship, this review will try to understand prospective future directions by synthesizing available literature on sleep and the source memory. The present narrative review provides an overview of research executed in the fields of source memory, destination memory, and sleep. Destination memory and source memory are the opposite sides of the same coin. They are a part of the episodic memory system. Research suggests that they share similarities, namely their contextual nature, involvement of the pre-frontal cortex (PFC), and role of the medial temporal lobe (MTL). Studies on the effect of sleep on source memory have indicated that it plays a role in consolidation. This consolidation involves binding the item to its context. Due to the shared characteristics of source and destination memory, it can be suggested that sleep may play a role in influencing destination memory. Understanding this relationship will have implications for enhancing social memory/communication efficacy through sleep hygiene.
