Positive childhood experiences and insufficient sleep among children and adolescents in the United States: A nationally representative study.
Article in Sleep health, 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
objectivesPositive childhood experiences (PCEs), defined as positive social experiences and environments which foster healthy child development, are associated with better mental and physical health outcomes and moderate the negative effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). However, knowledge of the associations between PCEs and childhood sleep deficiency is limited. We conducted cross-sectional analyses of the 2022-2023 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) to evaluate associations between PCEs and insufficient sleep (defined as sleeping the recommended number of hours for age each weeknight).
methodsParents of children ages 6-17 years old (n = 56,540) reported on their child's exposure to 7 PCEs, including having a resilient and connected family, having an adult mentor, participating in after school activities or volunteering in the community, and living in a supportive and safe neighborhood. Associations between PCEs and insufficient sleep were evaluated using weighted, multivariate logistic regression analyses adjusted for sociodemographic factors.
resultsWe found that PCEs had dose-dependent associations with insufficient sleep; children and adolescents exposed to higher numbers of PCEs (5-7 PCEs) had the lowest reported rate of insufficient sleep (29.5%), while those exposed to 2 or fewer PCEs had the highest rate of insufficient sleep (48.0%). Adjusted analysis confirmed that youth experiencing 5-7 PCEs had significantly lower odds of insufficient sleep relative to youth experiencing only 0-2 PCEs (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.50-0.68, p<.0001). PCEs moderated associations between ACEs and insufficient sleep.
conclusionsIn conclusion, youth with greater PCEs exposure had lower prevalence rates of insufficient sleep. Furthermore, PCEs were associated with reduced prevalence of insufficient sleep among youth exposed to ACEs.
