Guided web-based intervention for insomnia targeting breast cancer patients: Feasibility and effect.
Article in Internet interventions, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundInsomnia is highly prevalent in breast cancer (BRC) patients, but non-pharmacological treatment is not widely available. The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate whether guided cognitive behavioral therapy via the Internet (I-CBT) is a feasible and effective solution for this undertreated condition in BRC patients, and to investigate who benefits most.
methodsAn existing evidence based I-CBT sleep intervention (I-Sleep) was adapted for BRC patients. An open mixed methods design was used including qualitative interviews and pre- and post-test questionnaires measuring sleep, fatigue, daily functioning, and psychological distress.
results100 of the 171 participants (59%) completed the intervention fully and participants highly valued the intervention (7.5 out of 10). Large to small pre-post effect sizes were found on insomnia severity (
conclusionThe I-CBT intervention I-Sleep is feasible, well-accepted, and effective for BRC patients who suffer from insomnia, especially for younger patients and those with more severe insomnia.
