Sleep deprivation affects memory function, depression and anxiety-like behaviours in rats and mice: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Brain communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Sleep deprivation paradigms have been employed in rat and mouse models to elucidate the function of sleep. The effects of sleep deprivation on memory function, as well as changes in depression- and anxiety-like behaviours, have been extensively investigated; however, the findings have often been inconsistent. In the present study, we conducted a comprehensive literature review of researches utilizing sleep deprivation paradigms in both rats and mice. A total of 164 original studies were analysed to extract results from behavioural tests concerning memory function and depression- and anxiety-like behaviours in wild-type rats or mice before and after sleep deprivation. The meta-analysis revealed that sleep deprivation consistently impaired memory function, irrespective of the paradigms, durations and species involved [
