Inequities in sleep duration among gender and sexual minority adolescents.
Article in Sleep health, 2025. 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
objectivesGender and sexual minority adolescents face health inequities compared to cisgender, heterosexual peers, including lower sleep duration. Our ability to measure these inequities recently expanded, as the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey's updated gender/sexuality items provide an opportunity to examine these inequities in a large, nationally-representative sample of adolescents.
methodsAnalyses (n=20,103 students, 2023 national YRBS, grades: 9-12) estimated survey-weighted prevalence of 3 sleep duration outcomes across gender and sexuality groups: sufficient sleep (8+ hours/night), short sleep (≤6), and extremely limited sleep (≤4). Survey-weighted logistic regressions compared outcomes between gender/sexual minority groups and cisgender/heterosexual peers, adjusting for demographic confounding.
resultsSleep duration was consistently lower for gay/lesbian, bisexual, "another unlisted sexual identity" and transgender adolescents, plus those unsure of their gender or sexual identity (e.g., adjusted Odds Ratio for extremely limited sleep ["another unlisted sexual identity" vs. heterosexual]:3.14; 95% confidence interval: 2.00-4.92). For many gender and sexual minority groups, extremely limited sleep was more common than sufficient sleep.
conclusionsSleep duration is limited among adolescents, and this, in conjunction with inequities on the basis of gender/sexuality, warrants intervention.
