Sleep characteristics among black cisgender sexual minority men and black transgender women during the COVID-19 pandemic: The role of multi-level COVID-19-related stressors.
Article in Sleep health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesTo determine the association between individual, network, and structural COVID-19-related stressors and changes in sleep duration and quality among Black cisgender sexual minority men (SMM) and Black transgender women during the COVID-19 peak infectivity rate in Chicago.
methodsFrom April 20, 2020 to July 31, 2020, we conducted the N2 COVID Study in Chicago (n = 226). The survey included questions regarding multi-level COVID-19-related stressors (eg, food unavailability, partner violence, housing instability, concern about neighborhood COVID-19), sleep duration, and sleep quality.
resultsAbout 19.5% of our sample reported a shorter duration of sleep during the initial peak COVID-19 infectivity, while 41.2% reported more sleep and 38.9% reported about the same. Compared to the prepandemic period, 16.8% reported that their sleep quality worsened in the COVID-19 pandemic, while 27.9% reported their sleep quality had improved and 55.3% reported it was about the same. In multivariable models, we found that ≥1 day of physical stress reaction, worrying about being infected with COVID-19, traveling during COVID-19 being a financial burden, not having enough medication, knowing someone who was diagnosed with COVID-19, partner violence and housing instability were associated with poor sleep health in the COVID-19 pandemic (adjusted risk ratio: 1.82-3.90, p < .05).
conclusionsThese data suggest that COVID-19-related stressors impacted poor sleep duration and quality during the pandemic among this cohort. Multi-level interventions to reduce COVID-19-related stressors (eg, meditation, intimate partner violence prevention and housing programs) may be useful for improving sleep health among Black cisgender sexual minority men and Black transgender women.
