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
introductionAlthough racial-ethnic residential segregation (RRS) is hypothesized to contribute to sleep disparities by concentrating poverty and impairing sleep among minoritized racial-ethnic groups, feelings of belonging within relatively homogenous neighborhoods may be protective against poor sleep. Yet, empirical studies are sparse.
methodsTo investigate RRS-sleep health associations and determine potential modifiers among US adults, we linked National Health Interview Survey data (2011-2017) to 2012 and 2017 American Community Survey census tract-level data. We used the local Getis-Ord G
resultsAmong 126,539 participants (mean age ± SE = 46 ± 0.1 years), high RRS was most common among non-Hispanic (NH)-Black (38%), followed by NH-Asian and non-Mexican Latine (34%), Mexican Latine (30%), and NH-White adults (17%). Across races-ethnicities and sexes/genders (both p-interaction > 0.05), high vs. low RRS was associated with a 6% lower prevalence of short sleep duration (< 7-h: PR = 0.94 [95% CI:0.91-0.97]), an 11% lower prevalence of long sleep duration (> 9-h: PR = 0.89 [0.80-0.99]), and a 2% higher prevalence of restorative sleep (PR = 1.02 [1.01-1.04]). Associations with a lower prevalence of trouble falling asleep were stronger among men vs. women. Race-ethnicity-by-sex/gender group membership and neighborhood-level poverty modified associations with sleep duration and quality without consistent patterns.
conclusionRRS was associated with more favorable sleep health among US adults with variation by key modifiers (e.g., sex). Strategies that leverage potentially protective social factors while promoting equitable resources across diverse neighborhoods may help address sleep health disparities.
