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
objectivesWe examined trends in adolescent sleep across recent decades in the United States.
methodsData were drawn from a nationally representative study, Monitoring the Future, measurement years 1991-2023, which represented cohorts of adolescents born from approximately 1972 to 2011 (n = 401 160). Outcomes were 2 self-reported survey items, one addressing sleep duration and another on subjective sleep sufficiency. Age-period-cohort models were estimated and sociodemographic differences in trends were examined.
resultsAdolescent sleep duration declined with increasing age during every period. Adolescents at every age in the last 10 years were more likely to report inadequate sleep duration compared with teens at those same ages in earlier decades. The period 2021-2023 had the lowest prevalences of getting 7 or more hours of sleep at every age (ranging from 37.2% at age 12 or 13 to 22.3% at 18 or 19). Disparities in sleep duration between non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic/Latino adolescents and their white peers, and between teens whose parents were more vs less educated, emerged and/or grew steadily over time. For instance, Black and white adolescents in 1991-1995 were equally likely to report 7 or more hours of sleep per night (odds ratio [OR] = 0.99 [0.92, 1.07]), but by 2023, Black teens were less likely to report this (OR = 0.79 [0.67, 0.93]).
conclusionsFor decades, adolescents' sleep had been eroding. It is concerning that youth from marginalized sociodemographic groups appear to be at an even greater risk for profoundly short sleep, given that sleep is a resource that confers advantages for health and development.
