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

introductionGender and sexual minority adolescents experience greater stress and report worse sleep outcomes compared to their cisgender and/or heterosexual peers. Understanding how minority stress and resilience factors are linked to sleep health provides levers for improving sleep within these populations.

methodsUsing a cross-sectional survey of LGBTQ+ adolescents in the US conducted in 2017 (n = 11,282; M

resultsWe found small but significant differences in sleep across gender/sex categories, with gender minorities and youth assigned female at birth having worse sleep than cisgender sexual minorities and youth assigned male at birth, respectively. Further, violent LGBTQ+ victimization and gender expression-based victimization were associated with more trouble falling asleep, and familial warmth was associated with less trouble falling asleep for both groups. For cisgender sexual minorities, family rejection and gender-based victimization were also linked with worse sleep while presence of a GSA and a trusted adult at school were linked with better sleep. For gender minorities, gender-segregated restroom use was also linked with better sleep.

conclusionsVictimization prevention, increased access to school supports, and improved family connectedness may help enhance LGBTQ+ youth sleep quality and overall health.
