1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionResearch in the field of sleep, aging, and dementia is rapidly growing. Consensus guidance is needed to facilitate high-quality research, comparability, and consistency.

methodsA modified Delphi consensus study was conducted by the Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Professional Interest Area of the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART) and an international panel of experts to establish recommendations for future research.

resultsAfter two voting rounds, the group (1) determined by consensus the most relevant sleep and circadian features to assess in the context of aging and dementia research, (2) established recommendations on data acquisition and report for future studies, and (3) identified high-priority future directions. DISCUSSION: This expert consensus study provides guidance to develop high-quality sleep and circadian research in the context of aging and dementia. Similar recommendations will need to be established for clinical practice. HIGHLIGHTS: We report the results of an international expert consensus study. Sleep and circadian rhythms features relevant to aging and dementia were identified. Recommendations on data acquisition and reporting were established. High-priority future research directions were identified.
