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.

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

Given the high prevalence of physician burnout, strategies are needed to improve physician mental health and well-being. As sleep disturbance predicts burnout, there is a need to evaluate evidence-based, potentially scalable treatments that target physician sleep and sleep-related health. This pilot implementation study enrolled physicians and gave them access to the Sleep Healthy Using the Internet, a 6-session self-guided cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia treatment program. Among 34 consented physicians, 44.1% engaged at least once with the platform. Among those, 23.5% completed all 6 sessions. Among the 8 completers, the program's session length, time requirements, and ease of access received high satisfaction ratings, and 75% reported they would recommend the program to other clinicians. In exploring effectiveness, Sleep Healthy Using the Internet was associated with reductions in insomnia severity, sleep disturbance, and sleep-related impairment postintervention. This pilot study demonstrates the promise of an evidence-based, web-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia program for improving insomnia among physicians. CLINICAL
