Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04144231 (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
introductionInsomnia is a common symptom among patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, negatively impacting symptom severity, functioning and well-being; however, it is rarely the direct focus of treatment. The main recommended treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-I). There is some evidence that CBT-I can also be used to treat insomnia in patients with schizophrenia, but only a few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been published. The aim of this ongoing RCT is to determine whether we can alleviate symptoms of insomnia and improve the quality of life in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder through CBT-I delivered via the internet or in a group mode. METHODS AND ANALYSES: The aim of this study is to recruit 84-120 outpatients from the Psychosis Clinics of Helsinki University Hospital and the City of Helsinki Health Services. The main inclusion criteria are a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and self-reported sleep problems. The study will be performed on a cyclic basis, with a target of 12-24 patients per cycle. Participants are randomly assigned into three groups: (1) a group receiving only treatment as usual (TAU), (2) internet-based individual therapy for insomnia (iCBT-I)+TAU or (3) group therapy for insomnia (GCBT-I) conducted via a virtual platform+TAU. The primary outcome measures are quantitative changes in the Insomnia Severity Index score and/or changes in health-related quality of life using the 15D quality of life measure. Secondary outcomes include self-reported variables for sleep, health, stress and the severity of psychotic and depressive symptoms; objective outcomes include actigraphy and bed sensor data to evaluate circadian rhythms and motor activity. Outcome measures are assessed at baseline and after the treatment period at weeks 12, 24 and 36. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Coordinating Ethics Committee of the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa, Finland, approved the study protocol. The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04144231.
