Differences in short and long sleep durations between blacks and whites attributed to emotional distress: analysis of the National Health Interview Survey in the United States.
Article in Sleep health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe current study examined the role of emotional distress in explaining racial/ethnic differences in unhealthy sleep duration.
designData from the 2004-2013 National Health Interview Survey were analyzed using SPSS 20.
settingData were collected through personal household interviews in the United States.
participantsOf the total 261,686 participants (age≥18 years), 17.0% were black, 83.0% were white, and the mean age was 48 years (SE=0.04). MEASUREMENTS: To ascertain total sleep duration, participants were asked, "How many hours of sleep do you get on average in a 24-hour period?" Sleep duration was coded as short sleep (<7hours), average sleep (7-8hours), or long sleep (>8hours). Emotional distress-feeling sad, nervous, restless, hopeless, worthless, and burdened over a 30-day period-was measured using Kessler-6, a 6-item screening scale.
resultsOf the participants reporting significant emotional distress (4.0% black, 3.5% white), χ
conclusionsIndividuals of the black race/ethnicity or those reporting greater levels of emotional distress are more likely to report short or long sleep duration. Emotional distress might partially explain racial/ethnic differences in unhealthy sleep duration between blacks and whites.
