Challenging beliefs for quality sleep: A systematic review of maladaptive sleep beliefs and treatment outcomes following cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.
Synthesis in Sleep medicine reviews, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an empirically supported intervention for insomnia. Given the strong, consistent support of its efficacy, scholars have become increasingly interested in the behavioral and cognitive mechanisms targeted during CBT-I. The purpose of the systematic review was to synthesize findings from the literature regarding the associations among maladaptive sleep beliefs, a cognitive mechanism implicated in maintaining insomnia, and treatment outcomes following CBT-I. The systematic review was completed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Seventeen studies were included in the final sample of reviewed articles and a study quality assessment was performed for all studies included in the review. The results suggested that reductions in maladaptive sleep beliefs were associated with improved insomnia severity; however, reductions in maladaptive beliefs were not associated with changes in sleep efficiency or other sleep parameters. Moreover, in some cases, improved sleep parameters preceded reductions in maladaptive beliefs. Maladaptive sleep beliefs may be an important target for improving insomnia. Targeting maladaptive sleep beliefs may initiate a trickle-down process that limits the influence of other cognitive and behavioral processes maintaining insomnia. Additional investigation is needed to evaluate the directional relationship between improved insomnia symptoms and reduced maladaptive beliefs.
