Protocol for a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of sleep extension on body weight and learning in children (More2Sleep).
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06341179 (A Randomized Controlled Trial of Sleep Extension to Regulate Body Weight and Improve Learning in School-aged Children), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: Sleep is essential for children's health, cognitive development, academic performance, and overall well-being. Short sleep duration has been associated with several adverse outcomes, including an increased risk of obesity and impaired cognitive functions. Despite these associations, few studies have demonstrated causal links with these outcomes. Objective: To assess the effects of sleep extension on body weight regulation and learning ability in school-aged children with nocturnal sleep below recommendations for their age. Method: More2Sleep is a randomized, controlled, parallel trial involving 142 school-aged children (6-12 years old) who are "short-sleepers" (≤9 h/night). The children will be randomly assigned to a sleep extension group (by ∼45 min/night, achieved by going to bed 60-90 min earlier than usual; Clinical Trial Registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06341179, identifier NCT06341179.
