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

Sleep is thought to serve an important role in learning and memory, but the mechanisms by which sleep promotes plasticity remain unclear. Even in the absence of plastic changes in neuronal function, many molecular, cellular, and physiological processes linked to plasticity are upregulated during sleep. Therefore, sleep may be a state in which latent plasticity mechanisms are poised to respond following novel experiences during prior wake. Many of these plasticity-related processes can promote both synaptic strengthening and weakening. Signaling pathways activated during sleep may interact with complements of proteins, determined by the content of prior waking experience, to establish the polarity of plasticity. Furthermore, precise reactivation of neuronal spiking patterns during sleep may interact with ongoing neuromodulatory, dendritic, and network activity to strengthen and weaken synapses. In this review, we will discuss the idea that sleep elevates latent plasticity mechanisms, which drive bidirectional plasticity depending on prior waking experience.
