Racial differences in sleep duration intersect with sex, socioeconomic status, and U.S. geographic region: The REGARDS study.
Article in Sleep health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
objectivesShort and long sleep duration are associated with poor health outcomes and are most prevalent among racial/ethnic minorities. Few studies have investigated the intersection of other sociodemographic characteristics with race/ethnicity on sleep duration prevalence.
designLongitudinal retrospective analysis of continental U.S. cohort, the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS)
participantsBlack (n = 7,547) and white (n = 12,341) adults, 56% women, ≥45 years MEASUREMENTS: At baseline (2003-07), participants reported age, sex, race, education, income, marital status, U.S. region, and employment status. The weighted average of reported sleep duration on weekdays and weekends, assessed at follow-up (2008-10), was categorized as <6, 6.0-6.99, 7.0-7.99 [reference], 8.0-8.99, and ≥9 h. Multinomial logistic regression models examined the independent and multivariable associations of sociodemographic factors with sleep duration. Interactions terms between race with education, income, region, and sex were examined.
resultsAverage sleep duration was 7.0 h (SD=1.3). Prevalence of short (<6 h) and long (≥9 h) sleep duration was 11.4% (n = 2,260) and 7.0% (n = 1,395), respectively. In the multivariable model, interactions terms race*income, race*sex, and race*region were significant (P < .05). Relative to white adults, black adults, were most likely to have short sleep duration. The magnitude of that likelihood increased across greater levels of household income, but with greatest odds among black adults living outside of the Southeast and Appalachian United States, particularly for men (≥$75k; black men OR = 5.47, 95%CI: 3.94,7.54; black women OR = 4.28, 95%CI: 3.08, 5.96).
conclusionsRace in the context of socioeconomic, sex, and regional factors should be examined as key modifiers of sleep duration.
