Discrimination, sleep, and physical health: Moderation by respiratory sinus arrythmia reactivity.
Article in Journal of health psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Discrimination (unfair treatment due to group membership) is relatively common among adolescents and has been linked to poor sleep and physical health. Individual differences in physiological functioning may moderate these associations. A sample of 323 youth (48% boys, 52% girls; 58.5% White, 40.9% Black, mean age = 17.38 years, SD = 10.18 months) participated. Adolescents reported on discrimination and health, wore actigraphs to measure sleep, and came to the laboratory to assess respiratory sinus arrythmia reactivity (RSA-R) to two stressful tasks. Results indicate that discrimination was directly associated with health. Furthermore, discrimination interacted with RSA-R to predict sleep and health. Discrimination was related to more sleep activity and poorer health when RSA increased relative to baseline (augmentation), and better sleep quality (higher efficiency, fewer long wake episodes), when RSA decreased relative to baseline (suppression). Findings support the importance of examining physiological regulation as a protective/vulnerability factor when attempting to explicate relations between discrimination and health.
