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

Memories reactivate during sleep, however the properties of such reactivation and its relationship to subsequent memory performance are not well understood. Here, we set out to examine memory reactivations associated with a serial reaction time task (SRTT). 48 human participants performed the SRTT and then slept in the lab while we deliberately induced reactivation in Slow Wave Sleep (SWS) using a Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) design. We detected reactivation after TMR cues using multiclass classification that adapted to sleep data by using sleep activity for training and wake activity for testing. We then examined the temporal properties of reactivation in relation to behavioral performance and sleep spindles. The observed reactivation was 3 to 20 times faster than waking activity. Finally, reactivation was more frequently observed in trials with high sigma power, supporting the idea that sleep spindles are associated with memory reactivation during sleep. These findings bring us closer to understanding the characteristics of human memory reactivation after TMR and provide evidence for the positive relationship between the detectability of reactivation and memory consolidation.
