Online and offline gendered racial microaggressions and sleep quality for Black women.
Article in Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectivePoor sleep quality affects Black women in the United States. Black young adult women experience stress from gendered racial microaggressions (i.e., subtle unfair treatment from being a Black woman). Studies of exposure to this stressor have focused on in-person contexts (i.e., offline). Yet Black young adults are nearly constantly online. The current study examines the associations between online and offline gendered racial microaggressions and sleep quality.
methodData came from a convenience sample of Black young adult women (
resultsMost participants (67.2%) reported poor sleep quality. More offline gendered racism (β = .14) and vicarious online gendered racism (β = .14) were each uniquely associated with poorer sleep quality. However, only exposure to vicarious online gendered racism was uniquely associated with a 33% increased odds of clinically relevant poor sleep quality (95% confidence interval [1.09, 1.63]).
conclusionsOffline and online gendered racial microaggressions are stressors with sleep quality implications. Vicarious online gendered racial microaggressions are uniquely associated with lower sleep quality and therefore may be a new avenue for future research and intervention.
