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

objectivesSleep health is increasingly recognized as a key factor influencing college students' well-being. However, research remains limited on the ethnic and racial discrimination experiences (both indirect and direct discrimination) that shape sleep health in Asian American college students. This study investigated daily associations between discrimination and sleep among Asian American students.

methodsParticipants were 168 Asian American first-year college students (Mage = 18.38 years, SD = 0.41; 65.5% female) in the northeastern United States. Over a 14-day period, self-reported direct ethnic and racial discrimination, indirect discrimination (i.e., vicarious racism), and actigraphy-measured sleep outcomes were assessed.

resultsAt the within-person level, on days when Asian American students reported higher-than-usual levels of ethnic and racial discrimination, they woke up earlier (b = -0.487, p = .050) and got out of bed earlier (b = -0.543, p = .006). However, at the between-person level, students with higher levels of direct discrimination woke up later (b = 1.571, p = .045) and got out of bed later (b = 1.769, p = .024). Students with higher levels of indirect discrimination had lower sleep efficiency (b = -16.809, p = .031), more WASO (b = 39.011, p = .021) and shorter sleep duration (b = -157.211, p = .024).

conclusionsBoth direct and indirect discrimination are critical social determinants of sleep health among Asian American college students. This study offers insights to guide culturally tailored institution-level policies that promote sleep health among Asian American college students during this crucial transicition.
