Adolescent circadian sleep health: a review of multimodal assessment strategies and clinical implications.
Review in Frontiers in sleep, 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
The adolescent developmental period is marked by increased social and academic demands, as well as biological changes that lead to profound shifts in sleep and circadian timing. Circadian misalignment, short sleep duration, and irregular sleep patterns are prevalent among adolescents and are linked to a wide range of negative outcomes, including impaired emotional regulation, diminished academic performance, and increased cardiometabolic disease risk. While efforts to promote adolescent sleep health have grown, the multidimensional nature of circadian sleep health remains underassessed in both research and clinical contexts. This review provides conceptual definitions of key circadian sleep health concepts, synthesizing current best practices for measuring circadian sleep health in adolescents across self-report, behavioral, and physiological domains. We organize assessment strategies around three key circadian constructs-chronotype, circadian timing, and circadian alignment-and describe validated tools for each. In addition, we explore measurements of contextual factors influencing circadian function, such as light exposure, meal and exercise timing, pubertal status, and genetic predispositions. Throughout this review, we emphasize the value of a multimodal approach that combines subjective experience with objective biological and behavioral data to improve clinical utility and advance the understanding of circadian sleep health. We conclude by outlining directions for future research, including the need for validated, developmentally appropriate tools and the integration of wearable technologies to improve accessibility and clinical utility. By consolidating core concepts and methodological tools, this review aims to assist researchers and clinicians selecting appropriate assessment strategies and tailoring interventions to improve adolescent circadian sleep health.
