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

There is some evidence to indicate that lower-body compression garments aid recovery from exercise by improving sleep quality, but this evidence is based on measures derived from self-reports and accelerometers. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of wearing lower-body compression tights to bed on sleep following a bout of exercise, using the gold standard for sleep measurement. Twelve healthy males participated in a within-subjects, counterbalanced, randomized study with two conditions: (i) Treatment-wearing compression tights to bed after exercise, and (ii) Control-not wearing compression tights to bed after exercise. In both conditions, participants completed 40 min of moderate-intensity exercise in the afternoon and had a 9 h sleep opportunity at night. Objective and subjective assessments of sleep were obtained using polysomnography and visual analogue scales, respectively. Wearing compression tights to bed did not affect the objective measures, including sleep onset latency (
