Differential Impact of Experienced and Anticipated Discrimination on Sleep and Health Among Sexual Minorities.
Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
For many lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals, stigma may represent a psychosocial stressor that can disrupt sleep and impair health. The present study tested a stigma model of sleep health to examine whether experienced and anticipated discrimination, as well as associated primal threat, would affect sleep quality and, in turn, physical and mental health among LGB individuals. A total of 401 LGB individuals (201 women and 200 men; mean age = 27.48 years) from Hong Kong, China, provided cross-sectional questionnaire data on experienced and anticipated discrimination, primal threat, sleep disturbance, and self-rated physical and mental health. Path analyses showed that experienced and anticipated discrimination were associated with higher primal threat, which was, in turn, associated with greater sleep disturbance and then poorer physical and mental health. Bootstrap analyses further revealed that experienced and anticipated discrimination had significant indirect effects on sleep disturbance via primal threat and on physical and mental health via primal threat and sleep disturbance. In addition, multi-group analyses demonstrated that the mediation model held across women and men and across lesbian/gay and bisexual individuals. Theoretically, our findings highlighted the importance of considering the differential effects of experienced and anticipated discrimination, as well as the contributive role of primal threat, on the sleep quality and health status of LGB individuals. Practically, our findings pointed to the necessity of developing community-based stigma reduction programs and individual-oriented stigma coping interventions in order to facilitate LGB individuals to reduce discrimination-related primal threat and thereby improve sleep and health.
