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

objectivesFew studies have examined longitudinal effects of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage on objectively assessed sleep outcomes among youth. This study examined neighborhood disadvantage as a predictor of changes in actigraphy-assessed sleep over a 6-8-year period from childhood to adolescence. Racial/ethnic differences in effects were also considered.

methodsParticipants were 339 children residing in small towns and semirural contexts within the Southeastern region of the United States (M

resultsSleep duration decreased between childhood and adolescence and sleep quality/continuity increased. Neighborhood disadvantage was associated with decreases in sleep quality/continuity from childhood to adolescence, but was not associated with sleep duration. Neighborhood effects remained significant after adjusting for family socioeconomic status. Interaction effects between neighborhood disadvantage and race indicated that the magnitude of neighborhood effects on changes in sleep quality/continuity were larger for Black youth than for White youth.

conclusionsThis study is the first to show that objectively assessed neighborhood disadvantage is associated with longitudinal changes in actigraphy-assessed sleep quality from childhood to adolescence, and that this association was larger for Black youth than for White youth. The results suggest that neighborhood factors may be key to addressing widening racial disparities in sleep across this developmental period.
