Effects of selective sleep deprivation on the hemodynamics of healthy individuals: a randomized trial.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2025. 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
Background: Human sleep is characterized by alternating cycles of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, with cardiovascular regulation differing across sleep stages. Sleep deprivation (SD) is prevalent in modern societies and can be associated with worsened cardiovascular outcomes. Previous research on SD has primarily focused on epidemiological concerns and the effects of total SD, while clinical data on the hemodynamic impact of selective SD during different sleep stages remain scarce. This study aimed to investigate the hemodynamic alterations in healthy volunteers undergoing acute selective SD of either REM or slow-wave sleep (SWS) under polysomnography guidance. Additionally, the cardiovascular stability of healthy individuals under selective SD and its potential correlation with cardiovascular diseases were examined. Methods: A total of 30 healthy volunteers (male:female ratio =1:1; age 26.27±4.479 years) were enrolled in this study. Each participant underwent a 3-day experimental protocol: the first night involved normal sleep, the second night selective SD (either SWS or REM), and the third night recovery sleep. After an initial night of normal sleep, participants were randomly assigned to either the REMSD group (n=15) or the SWSSD group (n=15). During the SD night, participants were repeatedly awakened during REM or SWS sleep, with a total of three full-night deprivations. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded synchronously during SD interventions, with measurements taken 5 minutes before and after the first SD event, as well as before sleep onset and upon awakening. The hemodynamic parameters assessed included heart rate (), stroke volume index, cardiac index, cardiac power index, total peripheral resistance index, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Results: In the SWSSD group, after SD, the heart rate significantly increased, while stroke volume index decreased (t=-4.37 to 2.21; P<0.05), whereas cardiac index, cardiac power index, and total peripheral resistance index showed no significant changes (P>0.05). In the REMSD group, heart rate, cardiac index, and cardiac power index increased, while total peripheral resistance index decreased (t=-5.91 to 2.39; P<0.05), with no significant changes in stroke volume index (P>0.05). Additionally, both groups had a significantly higher post deprivation DBP than a pre-SD diastolic blood pressure (t=-2.660; P<0.05). Conclusions: Healthy individuals demonstrated resilience to minor hemodynamic fluctuations. However, abrupt awakening from SWS could elevate the risk of cardiovascular events. Since REM sleep is associated with heightened sympathetic nervous system activity as compared to NREM sleep, selective REMSD may exacerbate cardiovascular physiological vulnerability during SD.
