1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAttentional bias is a salient manifestation of insomnia. Digital cognitive therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) has been validated as effective in alleviating this cognitive dysfunction. However, the effect of dCBT-I on attentional bias among Chinese individuals with insomnia remains undiscussed. This research sought to investigate this effect via a pictorial dot-probe task.

methodsIn Study 1, the pattern of attentional bias among poor sleepers (N = 52) and normal sleepers (N = 56) was assessed by the dot-probe task. In study 2, dCBT-I and conventional education were received by the experimental group (N = 42) and control group (N = 25), respectively. The dot-probe tasks and sleep quality assessments were completed at baseline and post-test.

resultsThe results of Study 1 indicated that poor sleepers exhibited significant attentional bias, characterized by increased attentional vigilance. Compared to normal sleepers, they showed heightened attentional vigilance toward sleep-related cues. The results of Study 2 showed that both dCBT-I and conventional education led to improvements in PSQI scores. However, only dCBT-I training alleviated attentional vigilance toward sleep-related cues. Additionally, dCBT-I was uniquely effective in reducing feelings of fatigue.

conclusionsPoor sleepers had a significant attentional bias, marked by heightened vigilance toward sleep-related cues. Digital CBT-I effectively reduced attentional vigilance and fatigue, suggesting that dCBT-I targets the cognitive distortions associated with insomnia.
