Unraveling the relationship between sleep behaviors and physical activity in the United States: insights from 2015 to 2020 NHANES data.
Article in Journal of activity, sedentary and sleep behaviors, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundPhysical activity is an important component of metabolic health. However, little is known about the impact of specific types/intensities of physical activity on sleep health, especially among ethnically diverse populations. We examined the association of various sleep behaviors with moderate to vigorous work/recreational activity.
methodsSelf-reported data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015-2020 were cross-sectionally analyzed for a sample of 11,039 participants in the United States (U.S.). Weighted univariate logistic regressions determined unadjusted associations, while weighted multivariable regression models adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, BMI categories, and socio-economic status assessed the multivariable associations with moderate and vigorous work/recreational activity. Stratified analyses were performed to determine across-group differences by ethnicity and BMI categories.
resultsOf 11,039 adults (mean age 41 years), 50.7% were female, 59.8% were Non-Hispanic White, 17.8% Hispanic/Latino, 12% Non-Hispanic Black, 6.3% Non-Hispanic Asian, and 4.1% other/multiple ethnicities. Moderate work activity increased the odds of short sleep duration [aOR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.22, 1.65], snoring [aOR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.21, 1.73], breath cessation [aOR = 1.37; 95% CI: 1.18, 1.59], and daytime sleepiness [aOR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.39, 1.91]. Vigorous recreational activity reduced the odds of short sleep duration [aOR = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.71, 0.94] and trouble sleeping [aOR = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.73, 0.96]. Stratified analyses indicated significant ethnicity-based differences in the odds of sleep behaviors across physical activity groups and increased odds of poor sleep behaviors among participants who were underweight, overweight or had obesity.
conclusionWork-related activity was significantly associated with suboptimal sleep behaviors while recreational activity was associated with favorable sleep behaviors. These associations were more pronounced among certain ethnic groups. Further longitudinal investigation is needed to examine the mechanism driving the relationship between sleep behaviors and physical activity.
