Sleep insufficiency and life expectancy at the state-county level in the United States, 2019-2025.
Article in Sleep advances : a journal of the Sleep Research Society, 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
Study Objectives: Millions of Americans obtain insufficient sleep daily, yet it is unknown the relationship between sleep and life expectancy by county across the United States. Methods: Using the 2019-2025 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys, we tested the associations between insufficient sleep and life expectancy at the county level while controlling for common adverse health behaviors (i.e. smoking, diet, and inactivity) across multiple years (2019-2025). Results: Insufficient sleep was significantly negatively correlated with life expectancy in most states from 2019 to 2025, such that lower sleep insufficiency was associated with longer life expectancy. Moreover, sleep insufficiency was significantly associated with lower life expectancy when controlling for traditional predictors of mortality, with only smoking displaying a stronger association. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the importance of adequate sleep in all communities regardless of income level, access to health care services, or geographical classification.
