Relationship between weekends catch-up sleep and risk of aging.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSleep has been proven to be associated with various chronic diseases and aging. However, many individuals fail to achieve recommended sleep durations on weekdays and opt for compensatory sleep during weekends. This study aims to investigate the relationship between weekend catch-up sleep (CUS) and aging.
methodsAll participants were sourced from NHANES 2017-2018. Using the sleep questionnaire, we obtained participants' sleep timings and durations on weekdays and weekends. Weekend CUS was identified as an extension in average weekend sleep duration. Biological age is a biomarker for evaluating biological aging, and its difference from actual age is used to determine aging. Weighted logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the relationship between CUS and aging.
resultsA total of 4,713 participants were included in this study, with an average age of 47.54 ± 16.94 years. 50.6% of individuals experienced CUS. Compared to individuals without CUS, participants with CUS had a 20% lower risk of aging (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.63-1). Specifically, participants who engaged in CUS for 0-1 hour showed a 23% lower risk of aging (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.61-0.96), and those with CUS for 1-2 hours had a 20% lower risk of aging (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.65-0.98). Stratifying by bedtime, the relationship between CUS and reduced aging risk is only observed in individuals who usually go to sleep before midnight and have CUS less than 2 hours.
conclusionThe 0-2 hour CUS is associated with a reduced risk of aging, and this relationship is more significant in participants who go to bed early and have healthy sleep patterns.
