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

We investigated life satisfaction in relation to sleep health among U.S. college students, and determined whether the relationship varied by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. Using 2022 National Health Interview Survey data, we assessed life satisfaction (satisfied vs. dissatisfied), recommended sleep duration (≥7 vs. <7 hours), few insomnia symptoms (IS), and restorative sleep. Adjusted Poisson regression with robust variance was employed for the overall population and then stratified by the aforementioned sociodemographic characteristics. Overall (N = 1,426, mean age ± SE = 27.7 ± 0.3) years), 97.1% of college students reported life satisfaction, which was associated with a higher prevalence of recommended sleep duration (PR = 1.96 [95% CI:1.19-3.22]), few IS (PR = 2.48 [1.36-4.52]), and restorative sleep (PR = 3.62 [1.49-8.83]). There was no evidence of differences in the relationship by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. Life satisfaction was associated with favorable sleep among U.S. college students.
