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

This study investigated patterns of disparities in sleep during the first semester of college, focusing on several dimensions of sleep and using multiple methods. Ethnically and racially diverse first-year college students (n = 635; Asian = 20%, Black = 12%, Latinx = 20%, multiracial = 23%, White = 25%; female = 73%, male = 25%, non-binary = 2%) completed a baseline survey, 14 daily diaries, and wore wrist actigraphs in their first semester at college. Across all three methodologies, White students had the longest sleep duration, whereas Black students had the shortest. Across surveys and daily diaries, White students reported the most environmental sleep disturbances. Asian students experienced the poorest actigraphy-assessed sleep efficiency and greatest wake minutes after sleep onset, despite reporting similar levels of sleep quality to other groups. These findings document ethnic/racial sleep disparities among diverse college students across a range of sleep dimensions and offer insight into developing focused institution-level interventions to target specific sleep outcomes.
