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

backgroundPoor or insufficient sleep is associated with numerous adverse, potentially serious physical and mental health outcomes. Equally concerning are the substantial racial, gender, and socioeconomic disparities, with minorities and those experiencing poverty disproportionately affected by poor sleep quality and sleep disorders. Both theory and research suggest that sleep health is negatively impacted by concentrated poverty at the neighborhood level due to the deterioration of the built and social environments, thereby creating conditions that disrupt sleep.

objectiveThis research considers an under-studied factor related to these conditions and sleep health-policing and police surveillance. Specifically, the study compares 4 neighborhoods within New York City at different levels of residential segregation.

methodsThe study design consists of a baseline survey, with 40 residents recruited in each neighborhood, and a 1-week diary phase with a subsample of residents. Neighborhood conditions are also assessed in each of the neighborhoods using a neighborhood audit tool.

resultsThe study received funding in July 2024. Data collection commenced in September 2024. As of August 2025, we have enrolled more than 100 participants in the baseline survey. Planned analyses will begin once data collection has concluded.

conclusionsThis information will help establish the extent to which surveillance and policing differentially impact the lives of New Yorkers as a function of where they live. Specifically, the results should be relevant and important for understanding the impact of novel policing strategies on underprivileged neighborhoods. This exploratory research will be useful for identifying populations and residential settings that may be most at risk for poor sleep health.
