Improving Sleep in People with HIV and Chronic Pain: A Pilot Study of Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia.
Article in Behavioral sleep medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07272863 (The Impact of BBTI on Cognition and Sleep Health in Older Adults With HIV), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
objectivesInsomnia and chronic pain are common symptoms in people with HIV. Poor sleep has been associated with chronic pain. While cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia improves insomnia in clinical populations, there are barriers to people with HIV accessing treatment including the lack of trained providers and lengthy sessions. Only one study has examined the efficacy of brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) in people with HIV. This study examined BBTI effects on sleep and pain in people with HIV.
methodsTen adults with HIV and chronic pain completed a 4-week, telephone-delivered BBTI treatment. A control group (n = 10) completed a brief mindfulness training (BMT). The Insomnia Severity Index and Brief Pain Inventory were used to assess insomnia severity and pain outcomes, respectively.
resultsThere was a significant interaction between intervention and time on insomnia severity, F (2,14) = 5.7,
conclusionsThis pilot study demonstrated that BBTI improved insomnia in people with HIV for up to one-month post-treatment. Novel preliminary evidence suggests that BBTI may also improve pain outcomes in people with HIV.
