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
objectiveExisting research highlights interpersonal ethnic-racial discrimination as a contributing factor to sleep disparities among ethnic-racial minoritized adolescents. However, limited research has examined the impact of structural racism, the root cause of interpersonal discrimination, on sleep disturbances. The current study examined how structural racism within the state where an adolescent resided influenced sleep disturbances among ethnic-racial minoritized adolescents, both conjointly and interactively with their experiences of interpersonal discrimination.
methodDrawing on longitudinal data from Black and non-White Latinx adolescents in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study, path analysis was conducted to examine how state-level structural racism predicted sleep disturbances and moderated the association between interpersonal discrimination and sleep disturbances. We further explored how these effects varied by demographic factors of ethnicity-race, immigration status, and family socioeconomic status. Separate analyses were conducted for male and female adolescents.
resultsStructural racism directly predicted more sleep disturbances subsequently for male adolescents; structural racism exacerbated the positive association between interpersonal discrimination and female adolescents' sleep disturbances. These effects were more pronounced for non-White Latinx (vs. Black) adolescents, adolescents from immigrant (vs. nonimmigrant) families, and for adolescents with lower (vs. higher) family socioeconomic status.
conclusionThe findings highlight state-level structural racism as a feasible and promising target for systemic change and policy reform to improve the sleep health of ethnic-racial minoritized adolescents and promote health equity. Findings also provided valuable insights in terms of what and for whom future research and intervention efforts should target to mitigate the sleep disturbances linked to structural racism.
