Psychosocial and Behavioral Correlates of Sleep Duration and Sleep Disturbance Among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Women.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public 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
introductionSleep is an essential dimension of good physical and mental health. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) women experience inequities in sleep duration and disturbance compared to heterosexual women. Psychosocial and behavioral characteristics are important to sleep in the general population; they may advance our understanding about sleep inequities among LGB women and provide key information for developing promising interventions.
methodsData for this project were provided by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). The sample size for this project was 1436: 884 LG women and 552 bisexual women. Outcome variables were sleep duration and disturbance. The authors sought to clarify the associations, including the strength, between psychosocial factors and sleep outcomes among LGB women. Associations between psychosocial characteristics, health behaviors, and sleep outcomes were tested using multivariable, hierarchical, nested, linear regression models, stratified by sexual orientation.
resultsSocial strain, social function, optimism, and negative emotional expressiveness were significantly associated with sleep outcomes for LGB women. Health behaviors were not consistently or strongly associated with sleep outcomes for LGB women.
conclusionsThe findings point to the importance of social strain, social function, negative emotional expressiveness, and optimism in LGB women's sleep. It is possible that LGB women's sleep could be improved with evidence-based interventions that use our findings.
