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

Sleep constitutes an essential physiological process that is vital for maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. However, the science of sleep focusing on basic questions such as "how" we sleep and "why" we sleep is still not clear. Over the past decade, substantial progress has also been made in elucidating the interactions between sleep and other biological processes, providing insights into the basic questions of sleep. Among these, emerging evidence highlights the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) as a pivotal bidirectional network that connects gut microorganisms with the central nervous system to regulate sleep architecture and homeostasis. This interaction is inherently bidirectional: sleep deprivation alters gut motility, mucosal integrity, and microbial composition, while microbial metabolites in turn influence neurotransmission (
