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

Research suggests a bidirectional relationship between brain and cognitive development and sleep in early childhood. Polysomnography is essential for the investigation of the mechanisms underlying sleep's role in brain and cognitive development. This paper outlines methods for integrating measures of sleep and sleep physiology into cognitive developmental neuroscience research. There are various options when choosing a polysomnography system depending on the research question. We offer considerations such as application time, recording time, montage density and analysis options, and cost. We also review suggestions for modifying procedures with developmental populations to support high quality polysomnography data collection. We hope that this overview will facilitate more developmental cognitive neuroscience studies of sleep to advance our understanding of early brain and cognitive development.
