Subjective and objective quality of sleep with radiant or convection cooling systems: a randomized, cross-over trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 is influenced by environmental factors, and hot ambient temperature undermines sleep quality. Considering the global warming, it becomes increasingly important to keep bedroom temperature cool in the summer. Today, two electrical cooling systems are available: convection and radiant. Convection air cooling system supplies cooled air-flow. Radiant cooling system cools the room through radiation from the cooled surfaces, moisture condensation on which is prevented by reheated refrigeration cycle system. The present study was a randomized, cross-over trial setting room air temperature at 26 ℃ to compare subjective and objective quality of sleep between convection and radiant cooling in 7 healthy women. Subjective and objective quality of sleep were assessed by Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi Sleep Inventory and EEG-based sleep parameters, respectively. Compared with convection cooling, radiant cooling provided lower relative humidity and air flow. Refreshness, one of the 4 indices of subjective quality of sleep, was higher with radiant cooling. Among the EEG-based sleep parameters, sleep efficiency was higher and sleep latency was shorter with radiant cooling. In spite of similar ambient room temperature, difference in cooling (radiant vs. convection) and/or dehumidifying (ordinary air conditioning vs. reheated refrigeration cycle) method provided difference in thermal comfort affecting subjective and objective quality of sleep.
