Sleep Problems and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies.
Review in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
Sleep problems and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) represent critical public health concerns during adolescence. While cross-sectional research suggests an association, prospective longitudinal evidence remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the prospective relationship between sleep problems and subsequent NSSI risk among adolescents. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL were searched from inception to January 2026. Twenty longitudinal studies comprising 62,467 adolescents were included. Pooled analysis revealed that sleep problems significantly increased NSSI risk (OR = 1.60; 95% CI: 1.32-1.95). Subgroup analyses showed generally consistent associations across regions, study populations, sample sizes, measurement tools, and follow-up durations. The type of sleep problem appeared to moderate the association. Evidence of publication bias was mixed, with Begg's test suggesting possible bias whereas Egger's test was not statistically significant. These findings underscore sleep problem as a prospective risk factor for adolescent NSSI, with important implications for early prevention strategies.
