Chronotype and Mental Health: Are Late Sleepers More Vulnerable?
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This review examines emerging evidence on the relationship between behavioral sleep timing and psychiatric disorders, highlighting the critical distinction between circadian preference (chronotype) and actual timing of sleep. These two concepts are not identical and show independent and interdependent impacts on a variety of mental health outcomes. Evidence suggests that actual sleep timing, rather than chronotype preference, is a stronger predictor of mental health outcomes, with late-night sleep patterns more consistently linked to poorer mental health across both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. The mechanisms linking late night sleep patterns to poorer mental health are not well understood and cannot be fully explained by reduced sleep duration or being awake during the biological nighttime. Modifiable social and environmental factors likely play a role. Future research should clarify causal mechanisms and inform culturally sensitive, chronobiologically-informed interventions.
