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
STUDY
objectivesInsomnia is a significant problem for many adolescents and often is associated with detrimental effects on physical and mental health. Drawing on emerging models of intervention in the adult literature, this pilot study investigated the efficacy, safety, and acceptability of a novel, brief (3-week) behavioral intervention among adolescents with unresolved chronic insomnia.
methodsA multiple baseline (staggered start) A-B with follow-up single-case design (n = 2) was used to evaluate intervention outcomes across treatment and at 2-month follow-up in the domains of sleep, mood and affect, fatigue, and parent-child conflict. Outcomes were indexed with multi-informant data collected using adolescent reports on mood/affect and sleep diaries, and parent reports on parent-child conflict.
resultsPosttreatment and 2-month follow-up data indicated improvements in self-reported sleep quality, including sleep onset latency and increased sleep efficiency. Indicators related to participant mood, stress, and parent-child interactions remained relatively stable over the course of treatment, suggesting that the sleep restriction component of the intervention did not produce adverse effects for the adolescents or their families.
conclusionsA brief 3-week intervention adapted from the adult literature was associated with improved sleep-wake cycles in adolescents with chronic insomnia. Change during the treatment phase was particularly rapid and maintained over time. In conjunction with low observed risk and adverse effects, the potential for this treatment to provide a safe, acceptable, and cost-effective manualized treatment for adolescent insomnia warrants larger-scale clinical evaluation.
