1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesNeighborhood social cohesion or living in communities characterized by trust and social ties may mitigate sleep disparities among sexual minoritized vs. heterosexual persons; but its relation to sleep health is understudied among sexual minoritized groups. To investigate associations between perceived neighborhood social cohesion and sleep health among adult US men and women who identified as "lesbian or gay, bisexual, or something else," we used cross-sectional National Health Interview Survey data (2013-2018).

methodsParticipants reported neighborhood social cohesion (categorized as low or medium vs. high) and sleep characteristics. Adjusting for sociodemographic, health, and residential characteristics, we used Poisson regression with robust variance to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals for poor sleep.

resultsAmong 4666 sexual minoritized adults, 44% reported low, 32% medium, and 24% high neighborhood social cohesion. Women, minoritized racial/ethnic groups, and young adults disproportionately reported low neighborhood social cohesion. Overall, low vs. high neighborhood social cohesion was associated with a higher prevalence of short sleep (PR=1.27 [95% confidence interval:1.11-1.45]) and all sleep disturbances (e.g., PR

conclusionsLower perceived neighborhood social cohesion was associated with poorer sleep. Fostering community cohesiveness may mitigate sleep disparities among sexual minoritized adults.
