Divergent effects of sleep efficiency and sleep medication on episodic memory in mid to late life.
Article in Frontiers in sleep, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Different aspects of sleep quality are known to decline with age, and these changes have been shown to impact performance across multiple cognitive domains. However, despite a growing body of literature, the impact of changes to quality of sleep on episodic memory remains elusive, with some studies finding effects and others failing to find a relation. Methods: In this study, participants [ Results: We found that worse sleep efficiency was associated with worse overall episodic memory. Further, medication use had a positive effect on verbal, pattern separation, and overall episodic memory. Findings occurred in an age-dependent manner. Conclusions: These results underscore the complexity of sleep-memory interactions and suggest that certain aspects of episodic memory may be more sensitive to specific components of sleep quality than others, particularly as individuals age.
