Recovery sleep after total sleep deprivation preserves neutral and enhances emotional declarative memory.

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
Study Objectives: While recovery sleep can ameliorate the negative impacts of total sleep deprivation (TSD) on cognitive functioning, the effects of post-TSD sleep on different forms of emotional functioning remain unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of TSD and post-TSD recovery sleep on emotional memory processing. Methods: Participants viewed scenes with negative or neutral central objects overlain on neutral backgrounds. The scene components were then presented separately for recognition testing. Participants in the TSD ( Results: At Recog_1, all TSD participants showed worse overall memory compared to sleep participants. Specifically, memory was significantly worse for every scene component except neutral objects during Recog_1. At Recog_2, while memory deteriorated further for all scene components in the TSD Conclusions: Post-TSD recovery sleep preserves and restores memory functioning to the level seen in typically rested individuals. But extending TSD leads to continued memory deterioration, highlighting the importance of sleep in healthy emotional memory functioning.
