Examining the associations of gender minority stressors with sleep health in gender minority individuals.

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
objectivesInvestigate the associations of gender minority stressors (including stigma consciousness [SC] and gender-related discrimination [GRD]) with sleep health in gender minority individuals.
designCohort.
participants279 gender minority individuals. MEASUREMENTS: SC and GRD were measured using the Stigma Consciousness and Everyday Discrimination scales, respectively. Sleep disturbance was assessed using the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance measure. Subjective short sleep duration (<7 hours) was assessed. We used k-means longitudinal clustering to identify minority stress clusters (including SC and GRD scores). Linear and logistic regression models were used to examine the associations of these clusters with sleep disturbance and sleep duration, respectively, adjusted for demographic characteristics.
resultsMean age was 36.9 ± 13.6 years; most were non-White (54.5%), 52.5% were transmasculine, and 22.6% were heterosexual. Mean sleep disturbance score was 17.2 ± 6.1 (range 6-30) and 52% reported short sleep duration. We identified 3 minority stress clusters. Compared to participants with low SC/low GRD, those with high SC/low GRD (B 3.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.64, 5.01) and high SC/high GRD (B 4.51, 95% CI = 2.63, 6.39) had worse sleep disturbance scores. Participants in the high SC/high GRD cluster were more likely to report short sleep duration relative to the low SC/low GRD cluster (adjusted odds ratios 2.17; 95% CI = 1.11-4.26).
conclusionsParticipants with both high SC and high GRD had worse sleep health. Future longitudinal studies should examine factors that drive the link between gender minority stress and sleep health in gender minority individuals to inform sleep health interventions tailored for this population.
