Race and sex differences in the longitudinal changes in multidimensional self-reported sleep health characteristics in aging older 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 6 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
objectivesWe examined within-individual changes in self-reported sleep health as community-dwelling older adults age as well as potential differences in these changes by self-reported sex and racial identity.
methodsParticipants were from the United States and enrolled in the Rush Memory and Aging Project, Minority Aging Research Study, or Religious Orders Study (N = 3539, 20% Black, 75% female, mean 78years [range 65-103]), and they received annual, in-person clinical evaluations (median 5 visits [range 1-27]). A sleep health composite score measured the number of poor sleep characteristics among satisfaction, daytime sleepiness, efficiency, and duration. Mixed effects models estimated associations of age, race, sex, and their interactions on the composite and individual sleep measures, accounting for key confounders.
resultsAs they aged, Black participants shifted from reporting two poor sleep characteristics to one poor sleep characteristic, while White participants shifted from one poor characteristic to two. Regardless of age, sex, and race, participants reported that they "often" felt satisfied with their sleep and "sometimes" had trouble staying asleep. Females over age 85 and males of all ages reported the most daytime sleepiness, and older White participants (>age 90) reported the most difficulty falling asleep.
conclusionsAlthough self-reported sleep characteristics were typically stable across age, identifying race and sex differences in self-reported sleep health can help guide future research to understand the mechanisms that underlie these differences.
