Exploring the interactive effect of dysfunctional sleep beliefs and mental health on sleep in university students.

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
Introduction: Poor mental health is a known risk factor for poor sleep among university students; however, less is known about the role of dysfunctional sleep beliefs and its relation to mental health and sleep. Additionally, students who identify as people of color (POC) may experience unique stressors related to discrimination and inequalities which can contribute to mental health issues and in turn, influence their sleep. The present study evaluated the impact of dysfunctional sleep beliefs and poor mental health on a student's susceptibility to worse sleep and examined differences among POC. Methods: Post-secondary students completed a survey including the Insomnia Severity Index and the Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale. Participants also completed questionnaires measuring symptoms of depression, anxiety, and perceived stress. Results: One thousand five hundred and sixty-two students were included in the analyses, 58% of which were POC. POC students had more dysfunctional sleep beliefs ( Discussion: The results suggest that dysfunctional sleep beliefs may play a role in perpetuating poor mental health and sleep. Interventions to improve students' sleep and wellbeing focused on reframing dysfunctional sleep beliefs should be examined.
