The diverse sleep structure of mid-day nap in college students.

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 aim of this study was to investigate the sleep structure of mid-day naps in students who frequently nap, and to determine whether this structure has any impact on their subjective feelings after nap. A total of 91 college students (male, mean age 20.47 ± 2.02 years) completed one-hour mid-day nap with polysomnographic recording in a sleep laboratory. Upon awakening, self-ratings of sleep quality and sleepiness were assessed using questionnaires. The sleep structure of mid-day naps varied among participants: 47.3% participants experienced stage-1, -2, and -3 non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in sequence in the one-hour nap, while rapid eye movement (REM) sleep occurred between 40 and 60 min after lights off in 27.5% participants, and less than 15 min in 16.5% participants. After nap, participants who achieved stage-3 sleep reported better sleep quality, but the subjective sleepiness was not influenced by the sleep stage contained in nap or the sleep stage at awakening. These findings highlight the diversity in the sleep structure of mid-day naps, suggesting that this variability may need to be considered when studying the effects of napping.
