Advancing adolescent bedtime by motivational interviewing and text message: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, and allied disciplines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03614572 (Advancing Adolescent Bedtime by Using Motivational Interviewing and Text Reminders - A Randomized Controlled Trial), 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
backgroundSleep deprivation is a prevalent problem among adolescents which is closely related to various adverse outcomes. The lack of efficacy of current sleep education programs among adolescents argues for the need to refine the content and format of the intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a group-based sleep intervention using motivational interviewing plus text reminders in changing adolescent sleep habits.
methodsThis study is a randomized controlled trial comparing motivational group-based sleep intervention with nonactive control group. The primary outcomes were the sleep-wake patterns measured by both sleep diary and actigraphy at postintervention, 3 and 6 months after the intervention. The trial was registered with the Clinical Trial Registry (NCT03614572).
resultsA total of 203 adolescents with school day sleep duration of <7 hr (mean age: 15.9 ± 1.0 years; males: 39.9%) were included in the final analysis. Sleep diary and actigraphy data both showed that adolescents in the intervention group had earlier weekday bedtime at postintervention (sleep diary: estimated mean difference: 33.55 min, p = .002; actigraphy: 33.02 min, p = .009) and later wake-up time at 3-month follow-up compared to the control group (sleep diary: -28.85 min, p = .003; actigraphy: -30.03 min, p = .01), and the changes in diary measured weekday bedtime were sustained up to 6-month follow-up. In addition, adolescents in the intervention group had longer sleep diary reported weekday sleep duration at 3- (35.26 min, p = .003) and 6-month follow-up (28.32 min, p = .03) than the controls. Adolescents in the intervention group also reported improved daytime alertness postintervention, which was maintained at the 6-month follow-up.
conclusionsThe motivational group-based sleep intervention is effective in advancing bedtime with improved sleep duration and daytime alertness in sleep-deprived adolescents.
