An intersectional approach to examine sleep duration in sexual minority adults in the United States: findings from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Article in Sleep health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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
objectivesInvestigate sexual identity differences in sleep duration and the multiplicative effect of sexual identity and race/ethnicity among US adults.
designCross-sectional.
participantsThe sample consisted of 267,906 participants from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. MEASUREMENTS: Sleep duration was categorized as very short (≤4 hours), short (5-6 hours), adequate (7-8 hours), or long (≥9 hours). Sex-stratified multinomial logistic regressions were used to examine sexual identity differences in sleep duration. We then examined sleep duration by comparing sexual minorities to (1) same-race/-ethnicity heterosexuals and (2) White participants with the same sexual identity.
resultsSexual minority women had higher odds of very short sleep compared to heterosexual women, regardless of race/ethnicity. Black gay men had higher rates of very short sleep but lower rates of long sleep relative to Black heterosexual men. Latino and Asian/Pacific Islander bisexual men reported higher rates of short sleep than their heterosexual counterparts. Black lesbian and other-race bisexual women were more likely to have very short sleep than their heterosexual peers. Black lesbian women also had higher rates of long sleep. Analyses examining racial/ethnic differences by sexual identity found that Black and Latino gay men reported higher rates of very short sleep compared to White gay men. Black bisexual women had higher rates of short sleep duration than White bisexual women.
conclusionsMore research is needed to understand how to promote sleep health among sexual minorities, particularly racial/ethnic minorities, and the impact of inadequate sleep duration on health outcomes in this population.
