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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study evaluated the effect of the school-based intervention Charge Your Brainzzz on adolescents' social-cognitive determinants, sleep hygiene and sleep duration and quality.

methodsA cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted with 972 students from 10 Dutch high schools. Schools were randomly allocated to the intervention (N = 5) or control condition (N = 5). Outcomes were measured with the digital Consensus Sleep Diary and via a digital questionnaire, based on valid measures. Data were collected at baseline (T0), ±1.5 weeks post-intervention (T1) and ±3 months post-intervention (T2). Mixed model analyses were performed to estimate the effects on social-cognitive determinants, sleep hygiene, and sleep outcomes.

resultsThe intervention increased sleep knowledge post-intervention (b = 1.91; 95%CI: 1.22-2.60) and at follow up (b = 1.40; 95%CI: 0.70-2.10). The intervention was also effective in changing adolescents' attitudes (b = 0.10; 95%CI: 0.01-0.19) and perceived behavioral control (b = 0.11; 95%CI: 0.01-0.22) post-intervention. No positive changes were found regarding subjective norms, behavioral intentions, sleep hygiene, or sleep outcomes.

conclusionsThe intervention improved adolescents' sleep knowledge, attitude, and perceived behavioral control. To significantly impact sleep health, theoretically sound and systematically developed interventions are needed which take into account the interplay between sleep, sleep-related behaviors, and adolescents' social and physical environment.
