Sleep the night before and after a treatment session: A critical ingredient for treatment adherence?
Article in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveSleep prepares key neural structures for next-day learning, and sleep obtained after learning promotes subsequent memory consolidation supporting long-term retention. This study examined whether sleep the night before and after a therapy session predicts aspects of treatment adherence.
methodAs part of a randomized clinical trial, 188 adults (62.7% female, mean age = 47.5, 80.5% Caucasian) with persistent insomnia received cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia. Patients completed a sleep diary before and after treatment sessions. Minutes spent awake during the night (total wake time; TWT) and total sleep time (TST) were used as measures of sleep disturbance. At each treatment session, therapists rated participant understanding of the session and homework compliance from the previous session.
resultsCompared to longer TWT, before session shorter TWT was associated with increased treatment understanding the next day. After session shorter TWT was also associated with increased understanding, but not homework compliance the subsequent session compared to participants with longer TWT. Similar results were obtained for TST.
conclusionsImproving sleep may benefit patient adherence to treatment. Sleep may influence processes related to initial learning and subsequent consolidation of treatment information. Future studies should examine whether improved sleep within other psychiatric disorders is also an ingredient to the successful outcome of psychosocial interventions. (PsycINFO Database Record
