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

Background: Non-drug therapy is a common clinical treatment for chronic insomnia, and the effect of happiness perception training group based on five senses therapy on chronic insomnia has not been evaluated. Objective: This study investigated the effects of happy sensation training group on anxiety, depression and insomnia symptoms in patients with chronic insomnia disorder. Methods: A prospective, assessor-blind, randomized controlled design was used. Adult patients with chronic insomnia were recruited from the Sleep Medicine Center of Sichuan Provincial Center for Mental Health. Participants in the training group received 10 sessions of hospital-based happy sensation training group therapy and three months of home exercises. The control group received health instruction. Results included anxiety, depression, and insomnia and were assessed at baseline, 2-week intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Polysomnography was performed at baseline and 2-week intervention. Two-way repeated measure ANOVA and Nonparametric test were used for data analysis. Results: 42 patients in the training group and 43 patients in the control group accomplished 3-month follow-up. There was no significant difference in anxiety, depression, insomnia and sleep Characteristics between training group and control group at baseline ( Conclusion: Happiness sensation training group can effectively improve the anxiety and depression of chronic insomnia patients, so as to improve insomnia. Given its acceptability and practicality, the program could be incorporated into routine treatment.
