Abstract

Sleep deficiency and out-of-synch circadian rhythms impair pancreatic insulin secretion, a possible precursor to metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Studies examining resting metabolic rate using indirect calorimetry found either no difference or a lower resting metabolic rate with sleep restriction relative to habitual sleep.

    “Studies that have examined the impact of sleep duration on resting metabolic rate using indirect calorimetry have found either no difference57,62,79–81 or a lower resting metabolic rate69 with sleep restriction relative to habitual sleep.”
  • In humans, transient misalignment of behaviors and the circadian clock increases inflammation and impairs glucose regulation, with potential relevance to cardiovascular disease.

    “In humans, transient misalignment of behaviors and the circadian clock increases inflammation and impairs glucose regulation (137-140), with potential relevance to CV disease (141).”

    From Role of the circadian system in cardiovascular disease (2018) · cites this paper as [137]

  • A history of 3 weeks of circadian misalignment plus sleep restriction caused a decrease in glucose tolerance and a decrease in insulin release, with recovery after a week of sleep extension.

    “A second study showed that a history of 3 wk of circadian misalignment plus sleep restriction caused a decrease in glucose tolerance and a decrease in insulin release, with recovery after a week of sleep extension (70).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
