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.

Abstract

introductionInsomnia is prevalent in psychiatric populations and may contribute to maintain and exacerbate psychiatric symptoms. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is the treatment of choice also for insomnia comorbid to psychiatric illness. However, patients are rarely offered CBTi in psychiatric outpatient clinics. The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate whether CBTi delivered in groups in a psychiatric outpatient clinic is superior to treatment as usual (TAU). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In the Sleep in Psychiatric Care trial, 60 patients with moderate to severe psychiatric illness who meet the criteria for insomnia disorder will be recruited from an outpatient psychiatric clinic in Norway. The patients will be randomised (1:1) either to group-based CBTi (Sleep School Wake Up for Insomnia; SSWU-I) or to a wait list (WL) while they are all receiving TAU for their psychiatric disorder. SSWU-I will comprise five bi-weekly sessions, each lasting 120 min, hence the treatment period is 8 weeks. Assessment will be conducted at baseline (T1) and after 8 weeks (T2). The primary outcome will be self-rated insomnia symptoms using the Insomnia Severity Index and the Bergen Insomnia Scale. Secondary outcomes include measures of symptoms of dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, depression, anxiety, fatigue, problems with work and social adjustment and well-being. Mixed model analyses will be conducted to test the hypotheses. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been granted by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics, in Western Norway (REK 2020/66304). Findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at research conferences and in relevant media. The results may document the need for specific sleep-directed treatments in psychiatric clinics as a way of treating insomnia disorder as well as to alleviate psychiatric symptoms. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04463498.
