Physiological Effects of Far-Infrared-Emitting Garments on Sleep, Thermoregulation, and Autonomic Function Assessed Using Wearable Sensors.
Trial report in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Far-infrared (FIR)-emitting textiles are increasingly used in sleepwear; however, their influence on sleep physiology has not been comprehensively evaluated with multi-modal wearable sensing. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study examined whether FIR-emitting garments modulate nocturnal thermoregulation, autonomic activity, and sleep architecture. Fifteen healthy young men completed two overnight laboratory sleep sessions wearing either FIR-emitting garments or visually matched polyester controls. Tympanic membrane temperature (TMT), sweating rate, skin temperature, and humidity were continuously monitored using wearable sensors, and sleep stages and heart rate variability (HRV) were assessed using validated portable systems. Compared with control garments, FIR garments produced consistently lower TMT across the night (
