Burden of sleep disturbance in non-Hispanic Black pregnant women.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
STUDY
objectivesNon-Hispanic Black pregnant women disproportionately experience poor perinatal outcomes compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Sleep disruption has emerged as a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes, but there are limited data in minority pregnant women. We examined the prevalence of habitual snoring and its timing of onset with several key sleep-wake disturbances and their associations with perinatal outcomes in a cohort of non-Hispanic Black pregnant women.
methodsNon-Hispanic Black pregnant women in their third trimester were recruited from a large academic medical center and screened for habitual snoring and its timing relative to pregnancy, along with sleep quality, symptoms of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and daytime function. Clinical diagnoses of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were obtained along with delivery outcomes.
resultsIn 235 women, the vast majority (80%) reported 3 or more sleep-wake disturbances, and almost half had at least 5 disturbances. Sixteen percent reported prepregnancy snoring and 20% reported pregnancy-onset snoring. Women with pregnancy-onset snoring had significantly increased odds of poor sleep quality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 8.2), trouble staying asleep (aOR = 3.6), waking up too early (aOR = 2.7), excessive daytime sleepiness (aOR = 2.3), and poor daytime function (aOR = 8.7) but no relationship with perinatal outcomes. In contrast, prepregnancy snoring was related to chronic hypertension, preterm delivery, and fetal growth restriction (aOR = 2.6, aOR = 2.8, and aOR = 5.1, respectively).
conclusionsSleep-wake disturbances confer a significant burden to pregnant non-Hispanic Black women, an infrequently studied yet disproportionately affected population. Contributions of maternal sleep to racial disparities in perinatal health should be a priority for public health research.
