Emergence of racial/ethnic differences in infant sleep duration in the first six months of life.

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
objectiveExamine the emergence of differences in sleep duration between infants from different racial/ethnic backgrounds and extent to which differences are explained by socioeconomic status (SES) and sleep continuity.
methodsSleep duration and continuity (number of night wakings and longest nighttime stretch of sleep) were assessed for 394 infants in the Rise & Sleep Health in Infancy & Early Childhood (SHINE) birth cohort at one- and six-months using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ). Multivariable regression was used to estimate associations of race/ethnicity with sleep duration adjusting for individual-level covariates, SES, and sleep continuity.
resultsThe sample was 40% non-Hispanic white, 33% Hispanic, 11% Black, and 15% Asian. Mean (SD) durations for daytime, nighttime, and total sleep at one-month were 6.3 (2.0), 8.9 (1.5), and 15.2 (2.7) hours, respectively. Corresponding durations at six-months were 3.0 (1.4), 9.9 (1.3), and 13.0 (1.9) hours. At one-month, Hispanic infants had shorter nighttime sleep than white infants [β: -0.44 h (95% CI: -0.80, -0.08)]. At six-months, Hispanic [β: -0.96 h (-1.28, -0.63)] and Black [β: -0.60 h (-1.07, -0.12)] infants had shorter nighttime sleep than white infants. The near 1-h differential in night sleep among Hispanics resulted in shorter total sleep [β: -0.66 h (-1.16, -0.15)]. Associations across all racial/ethnic groups were attenuated after adjustment for SES at one- and six months. Sleep continuity attenuated associations with nighttime and total sleep duration by 20-60% for Hispanic infants at six-months.
conclusionsDifferences in sleep duration emerge early in life among racial/ethnic groups and are in part explained by SES and sleep continuity.
