Sleep Is Integral to School Health and Adolescent Wellbeing: An Evidence-Based Call to Action.
Review in The Journal of school health, 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
backgroundSleep is essential for healthy growth and function. Sleepiness is common in middle and high school classrooms; many adolescents struggle to receive sufficient, well-timed sleep. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEORY: We provide a discussion of theory and policy ramifications of adolescent sleep science. We provide a unified overview of sleep's benefits for physical and mental health, safety, alertness, learning, and school performance. We outline the developmental biological-social-societal interplay influencing sleep in adolescents. We discuss the impact of changing school start times on sleep health and factors relating to school-related sleep equity. We discuss the success of changing school start times, sleep-health education, and how science-informed policies can combine later start times with educational and behavioral supports. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Ignoring sleep compromises students' and schools' success. Improving the opportunity for sleep, primarily through altering school start times, yields healthier and more productive students. Whether action manifests in the classroom, school, district, or state, the health of students-and schools-improves when policies offer adolescents opportunities to obtain the sleep they need.
conclusionsUnderscoring sleep's critical role in school performance, the evidence calls on educators and policymakers to address chronic sleep deprivation and its consequences for adolescents.
