Attitudes and beliefs about sleep health among a racially and ethnically diverse sample of overweight/obese adults.
Article in Sleep health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 identify and compare how sleep-related attitudes and beliefs vary among racially and ethnically diverse adults with risk factors for cardio-metabolic disease.
methodsThis exploratory qualitative study used online focus group discussions (N = 4 groups among 17 individuals) to collect information about sleep attitudes, beliefs, and practices following participation in the Mindfulness Intervention to Improve Sleep and Reduce Diabetes Risk Among a Diverse Sample in Atlanta (MINDS) study. A rapid analyses approach was used to identify shared themes related to attitudes and beliefs about sleep health and sleep practices across participants.
resultsParticipants on average were 31years old, 88% female, and identified as Black/African American (52.9%), White (17.7%), Asian (11.8%), and Hispanic (17.7%). Three themes related to attitudes and beliefs about sleep health were identified: prioritization of sleep to improve one's overall health, re-evaluating sleep needs, and interpersonal barriers to sleep. For Black/African American participants prioritizing sleep was coupled with a want to minimize stress as a long-term health promotion strategy, whereas individuals of other races/ethnicities were more focused on the immediate benefits of getting sufficient sleep. Individuals had reappraised their sleep needs and worked to improve their sleep hygiene accordingly, yet still experienced barriers to sleep. The most common barrier to sleep was sharing a sleep environment with someone who had conflicting sleep routines and practices.
conclusionThe results of this study suggest perceived benefits of and barriers to sleep vary by race/ethnicity, thus future interventions should be culturally tailored to enhance effectiveness.
