Local versus global sleep organization and the quest to determine sleep function.
Article in Neurobiology of sleep and circadian rhythms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 research of JM Krueger and colleagues, focusing on sleep organization as a means to elucidate sleep function, led to critical insights as to why we sleep. Krueger posited that, fundamentally, sleep occurs locally at the level of neuronal/glial assemblies (small networks of neurons and glia) and that the expression of sleep in these assemblies is dependent on their prior use. Neuronal/glial assemblies serve as units of information processing, which consumes energy and increases entropy so that the energy available for further information processing is use-dependently depleted. According to the laws of physics, when energy drops to a lower bound relative to entropy, information processing ceases - which results in local quiescence and locally reduced consciousness and manifests as
