Breakdown of thalamocortical connectivity under sleep deprivation: implications for cognitive arousal and transient sleep states.

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
Functional neuroimaging conducted at regular intervals throughout sleep deprivation reveals key thalamocortical connectivity changes that characterize the transition from a well-rested to a sleep-deprived state. Decreased thalamic connectivity is distributed across sensorimotor, visual, and limbic networks, including subcortical structures such as the parahippocampal gyrus and hippocampus. Associated changes in globally efficiency closely track group-level deficits in psychomotor vigilance, suggesting that thalamic-cortical interactions play a role in wake maintenance during sleep deprivation. These patterns of connectivity disruptions may reflect transient, sleep-like states arising from unstable wakefulness. Causal modeling indicates impaired self-inhibition within the thalamus is a dominant feature of sleep deprivation, which likely contributes to wake-state instability and attentional lapses.
