The associations between gas cooking stoves, indoor NO2 concentrations, and adverse sleep outcomes in a pediatric sample.
Article in Sleep, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
STUDY
objectivesTo investigate whether gas cooking stove exposure and elevated indoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration were associated with adverse sleep outcomes in a pediatric sample.
methodsChildren from urban neighborhoods in Boston, Massachusetts underwent in-home sleep assessments. Indoor NO2 concentrations were measured continuously over 7 days by devices placed in the participants' living areas. Primary outcomes were short sleep duration (average 7-day sleep duration <8 h by wrist actigraphy), and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB; ≥5 events/hour with ≥3% desaturation by a home sleep monitor). Associations between gas cooking stove exposure and elevated NO2 (≥ 69.48 ppb) with each sleep outcome were assessed through logistic regression models, adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic factors and season. Sensitivity analyses further adjusted for health conditions, kitchen ventilation, and various sources of indoor NO2.
resultsOf the 242 children, 74% (n = 178) were exposed to gas cooking stoves. The median (interquartile range) of the average daily 95th percentile indoor NO2 was 41.1 (38.4) ppb. Children exposed to elevated indoor NO2 level were at a 2.88 increased adjusted odds (95% CI: 1.27, 6.55, p = .012) of short sleep duration compared to children exposed to lower levels. A positive but insignificant relationship between indoor NO2 exposure and SDB was found (odds ratios = 1.23, 0.61, 2.47). Gas cooking stove exposure was unassociated with any sleep outcome.
conclusionsExposure to elevated indoor NO2 was associated with higher odds of short sleep duration in children. Interventions targeting indoor air quality may provide a novel approach for improving sleep health and reducing pediatric sleep disparities.
