Recharge, reboot, rewire: sleep optimizes information processing in neural circuits.
Review in Sleep, 2026. 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
Of the many proposed functions of sleep, its role in cognitive processing has received the most experimental support. Across animal phyla, sleep disruption interferes with sustained attention, sensory processing, and memory encoding, consolidation, and recall. However, identifying sleep dependent mechanisms underlying these processes has posed a challenge. This is due in part to the complexity of sleep states, which simultaneously alter brain circuit and neuronal activity patterns, neuromodulation, transcription, translation, and other neurophysiological parameters. In addition, the cognitive processes affected by sleep or sleep loss are complex, occur within the most complex biological system known to man (i.e., the brain) and in many cases involve cellular mechanisms that are not fully resolved. This review provides a simplified framework for considering sleep's roles in cognition-drawing an analogy to information processing in a simple computational circuit. The contributions of sleep to the energy supply (i.e., the battery), the activity (the current), and the connectivity (the wires) of this simplified circuit are considered, with the aim of understanding how these aspects of sleep function interact within the brain.
