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

Circadian rhythms, sleep homeostasis, and chronotype interact to modulate cognitive processes such as attention and executive functions, leading to fluctuations in performance throughout the day and significant impairments under conditions of misalignment or sleep deprivation. The study was conducted in two phases and included the assessment of subjective measures of sleepiness, vigor, affect, sleep quality, and individual chronotype. In the first phase, 32 healthy participants (19 females; mean age = 24.9 ± 3.14) were tested at four different times of the day to examine diurnal variations in attentional performance. In the second phase, a subsample of 8 participants (4 females; mean age = 24.4 ± 2.20) underwent a total sleep-deprivation protocol and completed the AD-Task over two consecutive days to evaluate the impact of prolonged wakefulness on attentional and executive functioning. In the first phase, results revealed a progressive decline in selective attention across the day (F
