Sleep health among sexual and gender minority people in the United States: A scoping review.
Article in Sleep medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Sleep has been found to be essential to physical and mental health. Sexual and gender minority (SGM; e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary) individuals experience significant health disparities, and emerging research indicates that this includes disparities in sleep health. However, the current literature on sleep health in this population has not previously been rigorously reviewed. This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview and synthesis of the current literature on SGM sleep health in the United States. Following established scoping review methodology, we systematically searched PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, LGBTQ + Source, and Scopus; 76 studies met inclusion criteria. Included studies indicated significant sleep disparities exist for SGM people, particularly sexual minority women and gender minority people. Social determinants of health, including bullying and discrimination, were associated with worse sleep health. Included studies were heterogeneous and had methodological weaknesses, leaving opportunities for future research. Overall, findings point to the need for more rigorous research to advance understanding of sleep health across SGM subgroups and inform interventions to improve sleep health among SGM people, given the known negative impact of poor sleep on overall health.
