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

objectiveSleep problems can hinder adjustment to college, but limited work has evaluated whether students' socioeconomic background is related to changes in sleep across the first year of college. The goal of the present study was to evaluate whether college-related financial stress, college generational status, and subjective social status were associated with differences in sleep across the first year of college.

methodsA total of n = 216 first-year college students (M

resultsGreater financial stress was significantly associated with worse sleep quality, more variable daily sleep duration, and greater difficulty waking up in the mornings. First-generation status was associated with poorer quality and more variable sleep, and worse subjective social status was linked to poor-quality sleep and greater difficulty awakening, but several of these associations were reduced after adjusting for ethnicity and gender. Mean-level socioeconomic indices did not interact with time, suggesting that between-person differences in sleep were consistent across the first academic year. Within-person increases in financial stress and subjective social status were associated with lower sleep variability.

conclusionThe study findings reveal significant socioeconomic-related differences in first-year college students' sleep behavior. Intervention efforts to address college students' sleep health may benefit from connecting low-socioeconomic status students with resources to facilitate adjustment to college.
