Pain-related beliefs about sleep as a predictor of insomnia symptoms and treatment acceptability.
Article in Sleep medicine, 2022. 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
objectiveDysfunctional beliefs about sleep and pain are common among individuals experiencing recurrent pain and may inadvertently maintain insomnia symptoms. Thus, the present study sought to determine the level at which pain-related beliefs about sleep may predict insomnia and assess whether pain-related beliefs about sleep predict attitudes towards insomnia treatment above other known factors. PATIENTS/
methodsData consisted of 999 individuals (M age = 44.18, 45.75% male) who participated in an online study about sleep and health across the lifespan. Beliefs about sleep and pain were measured via the pain-related beliefs and attitudes scale (PBAS) while insomnia and pain were assessed using the insomnia severity index (ISI) and a visual analogy scale, respectively. Attitudes towards insomnia treatment was measured using the insomnia treatment acceptability scale (ITAS). RESULTS AND
conclusionA score of 6.10 out of 10 on PBAS optimized sensitivity (66.40%) and specificity (66.90%) for insomnia classification. Pain-related beliefs about sleep predicted treatment acceptability of both behavioral (β = .46, p <. 001) and pharmacological treatments (β = 0.50, p < .001) over and above insomnia symptoms, pain severity, or sleep-self efficacy. Results underscore the importance of cognitive-behavioral factors as it relates to insomnia among individuals with comorbid pain and are relevant to the developments of models which seek to understand attitudes towards insomnia treatment.
