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

backgroundPrior work links childhood trauma and adult loneliness to sleep health in adulthood in Blackfeet American Indian adults. In the current study, in a sample of 275 Blackfeet American Indian adults, we investigated whether the relationship between childhood traumatic events and adult sleep health is moderated by reported levels of loneliness in adulthood. We hypothesized that low levels of adult loneliness may offset the negative impact of childhood trauma exposure on sleep health in adulthood.

methodThe study utilizes Community Based Participatory Research methods and approaches and is based on a long-standing research partnership between faculty at Montana State University and Blackfeet Community College.

resultsUsing a linear regression, controlling for age, gender, and education, we found that adult loneliness was a significant moderator of the relationship between childhood trauma and sleep health in adulthood (B = -0.19, t(264) = -3.13, p = 0.002). Simple slopes analyses indicated that the relationship between high levels of childhood trauma and poor sleep health was only evident for individuals who also reported high levels of adult loneliness.

conclusionThe current findings suggest that interventions targeting adult loneliness may reduce the risk for poor sleep health typically associated with high levels of childhood trauma.
