Sleep-dependent infraslow rhythms are evolutionarily conserved across reptiles and mammals.
Article in Nature neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
By recording brain activity in seven lizard species, humans, rats and pigeons, we demonstrate an infraslow brain rhythm during sleep in all species. This rhythm is tightly coupled with eye movements, muscle tone, heart and breathing rate in lizards, with skin brightness in chameleons and with pulsatile changes in cerebrovascular volume throughout sleep in bearded dragons and during non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice. These findings indicate that the infraslow rhythm is conserved across amniotes, questioning the evolution of sleep states.
