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

Sexsomnia is characterized by sexual behaviors ranging from masturbation, sexual sounds, and verbalizations, to touching and full sexual intercourse during NREM sleep, with subsequent amnesia. Autonomic activation occurs with sexual arousal. Sexsomnia has been described mostly in adult males and is still an underrecognized condition. Treatment is often effective but without current consensus. In a case now reported of an adolescent male with sexsomnia, which is rarely reported in the literature, a novel feature that is now first reported is defecation accompanying sexsomnia as a co-occurring autonomic disturbance during sleep.
