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

Purpose of review: This paper aimed to estimate pooled bi-directional associations between multidimensional sleep health and substance use among youth and investigate whether these associations differed as a function of race/ethnicity. Recent findings: Empirical observational studies providing quantitative data on the association of sleep health (duration [sleep obtained per 24 hours], satisfaction [subjective assessment of sleep], alertness [ability to maintain attentive wakefulness], and timing [placement of sleep]) and substance use (i.e., alcohol and cannabis), and racial/ethnic demographic information among U.S. youth (10-25) were identified through a systematic literature search. Random effects meta-analyses were conducted using 95 effect sizes extracted from 38 studies. Summary: We found evidence for a bi-directional relationship between total sleep duration and substance use. Sleep satisfaction predicted substance use, but findings were inconclusive whether substance use predicted sleep satisfaction. Sleep alertness predicted alcohol (but not cannabis) use, whereas sleep timing predicted cannabis (but not alcohol) use. Nuanced racial/ethnic differences were also found in these sleep-substance use relationships, which differed across sleep domains and types of substance.
