The interactions of abnormal sleep duration with sleep disturbance and abnormal sleep timing on suicidal ideation.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
objectiveWe aimed to explore the pairwise interactions between sleep disturbance, abnormal sleep duration, and abnormal sleep timing on the odds of suicidal ideation (SI) among U.S. adults.
methodsData of 13,307 adults from the 2015–2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Sleep duration was categorized into short (<7 hours), normal (7–9 hours), and long sleep duration (≥9 hours). Sleep timing was categorized into normal [22:00–23:00), late (≥23:00), and early sleep timing (<22:00). SI was assessed through the ninth item of the Patient Health Questionnaire 9. Multivariate logistic regression and likelihood ratio tests were conducted to evaluate the associations of sleep disturbance, duration, and timing with SI odds and the pairwise interactions between them.
resultsAfter adjusting for confounders, sleep disturbance, late sleep timing, and long sleep duration were significantly associated with higher odds of SI, with the ORs of 2.36 (1.62–3.43), 1.88 (1.30–2.72), and 1.85 (1.06–3.22), respectively. Sleep duration showed context-dependent associations with SI: short sleep duration was linked to higher SI odds only in the presence of sleep disturbance or early sleep timing, whereas long sleep duration was associated with greater SI odds overall, with stronger effects among those with sleep disturbance or late sleep timing. Significant interactions were observed (p for interaction = 0.03 for each).
conclusionThe association between abnormal sleep duration and the odds of SI was modified by sleep disturbance and abnormal sleep timing. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
