1 · What the graph read from it

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

STUDY

objectivesTo examine whether cognitive behavioral treatments for insomnia (CBT-I) and pain (CBT-P) lead to neural activation changes in response to pain in fibromyalgia.

methodsThirty-two patients with fibromyalgia (mean age = 55.9, standard deviation = 12.2) underwent an experimental pain protocol during functional magnetic resonance imaging and completed 14-day diaries assessing total wake time, total sleep time, and pain intensity before and after CBT-I, CBT-P, or waitlist control. Random effects analysis of covariance identified regions with significant group (CBT-I, CBT-P, waitlist control) by time (baseline, post-treatment) interactions in blood oxygen level-dependent response to pain. Linear regressions using residualized change scores examined how changes in total wake time, total sleep time, and pain intensity were related to activation (blood oxygen level-dependent) changes.

resultsTwelve regions exhibited small to moderate effects with significant interactions

conclusionsCBT-I prompted greater decreases in neural activation in response to pain across more regions associated with pain and sleep processing than CBT-P. Reported sleep improvements may underlie those decreases. Future research examining the longer-term impact of CBT-I and improved sleep on central pain and sleep mechanisms is warranted. CLINICAL
