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.

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.

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.
