Unfortunately, as far as I can see, it doesn't allow for any bias you have in your listing or ending times and days, ie it doesn't show what percentage of listings listed or ending at a particular time or on a particular day actually result in sales; nor, as a consequence, does it compare the strike rates between those variables.
I don't use Seller Hub or whatever gives me sales reports and it only took 5 minutes to sort my emails alphabetically so all the sold ones were together and I could see the times of day.
For most of my sales I usually open the listing so I can check/update the amount available so it's easy for me to see when the listing started in relation to when it sold. On the other account they often sold mid cycle (30 days) but I figured if people were buying at night it was a good idea to have my listings starting/ending at night because they might see something of mine about to end (or just started) and check out my other items. I was selling in a category where one seller had ten duplicate listings for each item and if I listed just before them my listings got buried.
For some items, listing at the time people are most likely to buy (if there is such a time) can mean more views as some people regularly check what's been newly listed, so BINs are time sensitive to a certain extent. The real bargains get snapped up soon after they're listed so there's at least a few people who regularly check newly listed in some categories.
On this ID I tend to get more sales from items that are about to end than those that are newly listed, but I know others who sell more at the start of the cycle than the end.
