App-Supported Sleep Coaching: Implications for Sleep Duration and Sleep Quality.
Article in Frontiers in sleep, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThe present study evaluated whether completers of a 12-week app-based, personalized text supported sleep coaching program demonstrated improvements in sleep continuity, sleep duration, and reduced use of sleep aids.
methodsData were obtained from Sleep Reset, a 12-week consumer product that offers app-based sleep education and monitoring, along with personalized text-based sleep coaching provided by live coaches. 564 completers were included in the study. Pre-post changes for sleep latency (SL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), number of awakenings (NWAK), total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE%) and use of "sleep aids" were evaluated. To evaluate whether the program produced meaningful results, the proportion of participants who demonstrated reductions in SL, WASO, and NWAK, and increases in TST and SE% were examined.
resultsMean SL was reduced by 11 minutes, mean WASO was reduced by 28 minutes, mean SE% increased by 6.6%, and mean TST increased by about 44 minutes. Of those who reported using "sleep aids" during Week 1, 41% no longer used them by week 12. Those with low SE% at baseline demonstrated greater improvements in SL (16.2 vs 5.7mins), WASO (47.3 vs 7.2mins), SE% (11.2% vs 1.6%), and TST (65.3 vs 31.2mins). Those with ≤6 hours of sleep at baseline demonstrated greater improvements in WASO (36.8 vs 22.3mins), SE% (10.1% vs 4.3%), and TST (85.1 vs 25.5mins).
conclusionsParticipants that completed the app-based, personalized text supported coaching intervention reported subjective improvements in sleep duration and quality that suggest more beneficial effects particularly in those with lower sleep efficiency or sleep duration at baseline. An effective sleep coaching program that utilizes trained sleep coaches with access to board-certified providers, may provide a valuable resource for subclinical populations.
