Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i? Children sleeping <9 hours/day at 5-7 years scored 2.90 points higher (95% CI: 0.16, 5.63) on maternal-reported BRIEF global executive composite at age 7 than children sleeping ≥10 hours/day. → Taveras Elsie M.

q3 · i? · associational · r3

Multivariable-adjusted regression in Project Viva (n=1046), additionally adjusted for sleep at earlier ages. Children sleeping "<9 hours/day at 5ŌĆō7 years" had worse maternal-reported BRIEF global executive composite (2.90; 95% CI: 0.16, 5.63) at age 7.

"Children with sleep duration <9 hours/day at 5ŌĆō7 years also had worse maternal-reported scores: (BRIEF 2.90; 95% CI: 0.16, 5.63; SDQ total difficulties 1.74 points; 95% CI: 0.21, 3.27)"

q3 · i? · associational · r3

Same multivariable model; maternal-reported SDQ total difficulties was 1.74 points higher (95% CI: 0.21, 3.27) for children sleeping <9 hours/day at 5-7 years versus the ≥10 hours/day reference. Higher scores indicate more difficulties.

"Children with sleep duration <9 hours/day at 5ŌĆō7 years also had worse maternal-reported scores: (BRIEF 2.90; 95% CI: 0.16, 5.63; SDQ total difficulties 1.74 points; 95% CI: 0.21, 3.27)"
