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.

Abstract

STUDY

objectivesSexual minority adolescents experience mental and physical health disparities attributable to increased discrimination and minority stress. These same factors may also impair sleep health, although available literature on this topic is limited. This study examined longitudinal associations between adolescent sexual minority status and seven sleep behaviors in young adulthood and tested depressive symptoms and overweight as mediators.

methodData were drawn from Waves 2 (11th grade) to 7 (4 years after high school) of the NEXT Generation Health Study, a national longitudinal cohort study of US adolescents (n = 1946; 6.3% sexual minorities).

resultsThere were no significant sexual orientation disparities in sleep duration, trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, or trouble waking up during young adulthood. Relative to heterosexual females, sexual minority females had higher odds of snoring/stop breathing (36.6% versus 19.2%; adjusted odds ratio = 2.57; 95% confidence interval = 1.30, 5.09) and reported more frequent daytime sleepiness (b = 0.66, 95% confidence interval = 0.05, 1.27). Mediation analyses revealed that female sexual minority status was associated with increased risk of snoring/stop breathing though overweight status (mediated 43.6% of total effect) and was also associated with increased daytime sleepiness through higher depressive symptoms (mediated 70.8% of total effect).

conclusionsAmong US youth, no sexual orientation disparities were found except for snoring/stop breathing and daytime sleepiness among females. Sexual orientation disparities in these aspects of sleep are partially due to worse mental and physical health among sexual minority females, highlighting depressive symptoms and overweight problems as potential intervention targets.
