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

purposeResearch has rarely examined biobehavioral factors in mitigating substance use (SU) risks associated with discrimination among racially and ethnically minoritized youth. This study investigated sleep duration as a potential moderator of the association between multiple forms of discrimination based on race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, and weight (i.e., multiple discrimination) and subsequent SU intention in this population.

methodsData were drawn from a national, longitudinal sample of racially and ethnically minoritized early adolescents (N = 3,495, M

resultsPath analyses showed that more exposure to multiple discrimination was associated with greater subsequent SU intention, controlling for prior SU intention levels. However, this association was only significant among adolescents with shorter sleep duration on weekdays, not among those who slept longer (above 9.6 hours based on self-reports or 7.5 hours based on actigraphy) on weekdays. Actigraphy sleep duration mean and variability also exhibited nuanced linkages with subsequent SU intention. DISCUSSION: Findings highlighted sleep duration as a promising lever of change for preventative interventions aiming to curb SU among racially and ethnically minoritized youth in early development.
