Age-related and sex-specific trends in sleep quality in children and adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Introduction: Strong developmental trends are well described in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep characteristics but also seen in cyclic-alternating-pattern (CAP). The latter shows a bimodal distribution: slow wave dominant (A1) complexes early in life and A2/A3 complexes later in life. This analysis aimed to assess trends in CAP-linked cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) calculated Sleep Quality Index (SQI) from childhood through adolescence. Methods: Analysis of de-identified data from the SleepImage Results: Forty-one thousand nights of continuous sleep recordings of ≥ 6 h in duration and ≥ 4 h of total sleep time (TST), with good signal quality (≥ 80%) from individuals < 18 years of age were included in the analysis (48% girls-52% boys). Age groups were defined as 2-5 years (preschool-age, 39% girls-61% boys), 6-9 years (school-age, 47% girls-53% boys), 10-13 years (early-adolescent, 47% girls-53% boys), 14-17 years (late-adolescent, 52% girls-48% boys). In the cohort 20% had moderate- (AHI Conclusion: Children seem to reach their full potential in sleep stability and quality around school-age. In early adolescence, measured sleep stability and quality start to gradually decline, with the decline starting earlier in girls while larger in boys during the adolescent years.
