Sleep midpoint, social jetlag, and cancer risk in the Cancer Prevention Study-3.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 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
purposeSleep timing and regularity are associated with various health and performance outcomes, but limited research has investigated the relationship of these sleep dimensions with cancer incidence. The objective of this study was to investigate the associations of sleep midpoint and social jetlag with cancer risk among US adults.
methodsThe Cancer Prevention Study-3 is a large prospective study of US adults aged 30-65 years. At the first triennial follow-up (2015), participants were asked to report the average time they spent sleeping during a 24-h weekday and weekend, respectively. Sleep midpoint was calculated as the wake time minus half of sleep duration on a weekday and weekend to create a 5:2 weekday:weekend weighted average which was categorized as < 2:30AM, 2:30- < 3:30AM (referent), and ≥ 3:30AM. Social jetlag measures were calculated to estimate the difference in sleep midpoint on the weekend and weekday and categorized as < 1 h (referent), 1- < 2 h, and ≥ 2 h. Cancer incidence was determined via linkage to state registries; follow-up time ended at the time of cancer diagnosis or death or end of follow-up (12/31/2020). We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to estimate adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals adjusted for socio-demographics, socioeconomic status, comorbidities, and lifestyle behaviors.
resultsA total of 5,537 incident cancer cases were reported among 145,386 CPS-3 participants. We found no statistically significant associations of sleep midpoint or measures of social jetlag with overall cancer or breast cancer-specific risk.
conclusionOur findings suggest no significant associations of sleep midpoint and social jetlag with cancer risk.
