Instructional approach, sleep, and perceived academic well-being in adolescents during COVID-19: Evidence from the NESTED study.

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
objectivesAt the peak of COVID-19, adolescent life was disrupted as schools adapted their instructional approaches such as online, in-person, or hybrid instruction. We and others have previously commented on how these shifts facilitated longer, later and (more developmentally appropriate) sleep. Here, we report how sleep contributed to associations between remote instruction and broader academic well-being (e.g., cognitive function, school connectedness, and stress).
methodsAdolescents from all 50 U.S. states (n = 4068) completed online self-report surveys in fall 2020. Instructional approach was operationalized from fully in-person instruction to fully asynchronous online education. Sleep parameters included sleep timing and duration, sleep disturbances, and sleep-related impairments. Perceived academic well-being was defined as cognitive function, school connectedness, and school-related stress. Sleep and perceived academic well-being are examined across instructional approaches, in their association, and in structural models.
resultsSleep and perceived academic well-being differed between hybrid and online instruction groups. Less variable or disturbed sleep was associated both with in-person instruction, and with positive outcomes in cognitive function, school connectedness, and stress domains. Sleep mediated a substantial portion of variance in perceived academic well-being attributable to instructional approach.
conclusionThese data highlight the need to protect both healthy sleep and in-person instruction. Appropriate sleep timing and duration, fewer sleep disturbances and sleep-related impairments accounted for a substantial degree of variance in the association between remote instruction on academic outcomes. While many students experienced "lost learning" because of COVID-19, this study joins a broader discussion of ensuring developmentally appropriate school-start times to support both sleep and achievement.
