Childhood Adversity and Sleep Disturbances: Longitudinal Results in Puerto Rican Children.
Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundExposure to childhood adversities (CA) is associated with sleep disturbances; however, evidence has largely been drawn from cross-sectional data and has not addressed the relationship across developmental stages. Also, most studies have primarily focused on non-Hispanic White cohorts with a dearth of longitudinal evidence about racial/ethnic minorities. We examined the longitudinal association between CA and sleep disturbances in Puerto Rican youth.
methodThe Boricua Youth Study is a longitudinal study of Puerto Rican youth living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the South Bronx, NY (N = 2491). Among youth 5-9 and 10-16 years old, sleep disturbances were assessed through three yearly interviews. Lifetime exposure to CA included parental loss, child maltreatment, parental maladjustment, and exposure to violence. Weighted generalized linear mixed models examined the longitudinal association between CA and sleep disturbances in youth adjusting for sociodemographic and contextual covariates.
resultsThe prevalence of sleep disturbances was similar in both age groups (ages 5-9 and 10-16). In multivariable mixed models, CA were associated with sleep disturbance across three Waves among 10-16-year-olds. For example, having 2-3 or ≥ 4 types of CA were related to a higher prevalence of trouble falling/staying asleep in models adjusting for social context, gender, welfare status, or mother's education. No associations were observed among 5-9-year-olds.
conclusionThe results suggest that cumulative adversities in childhood may lead to sleep problems in adolescence. These findings highlight the utility of addressing CA during childhood to help reduce sleep-wake disorders throughout adolescence, a known risk factor for future mental and physical health problems.
