The association of neighborhood characteristics with sleep duration and daytime sleepiness.

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
backgroundNeighborhood characteristics have been linked to health outcomes. Various mechanisms link neighborhoods and health outcomes; sleep patterns may be 1 contributor; however, little is known about the social determinants of disordered sleep. We examined the association of neighborhood characteristics with sleep duration and daytime sleepiness.
methodsParticipants (n = 801) enrolled as pairs (55 without pair), from 10 churches in the Stroke Health and Risk Education project; 760 were included for analysis (41 withdrew). Sleep duration (hours of sleep at night) and daytime sleepiness (adaptation of Berlin questionnaire; range, 0-3 [more daytime sleepiness]) were self-reported. Neighborhood characteristics included disadvantage, per capita violent crime (census tract level), and safety (self-reported and individual level). We fit generalized linear mixed models and multinomial and binomial logistic regression models to examine the associations between neighborhood characteristics and sleep outcomes while accounting for the clustering within churches and pairs, before and after adjustment for self-reported confounders (age, gender, income, education, body mass index, depressive symptoms, hypertension, and diabetes).
resultsThe mean hours of sleep duration is 6.7 ± 1.2, and the mean daytime sleepiness is 0.8 ± 0.9. Neighborhood characteristics were not associated with sleep duration. Higher perceived neighborhood safety was associated with an 18.4% lower odds of daytime sleepiness in the unadjusted model (odds ratio, 0.82 [95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.96]). The association was attenuated in the fully adjusted model. Neighborhood disadvantage and violent crime were related to lower daytime sleepiness; however, associations were not statistically significant.
conclusionSelf-reported neighborhood safety was associated with lower daytime sleepiness. Future exploration of the pathways linking neighborhood characteristics and sleep is warranted.
