The Latest Advances in Non-Invasive Neurostimulation for Insomnia: A Review.
Review in Nature and science of sleep, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
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
Insomnia has become a serious public health problem. Because sedative-hypnotics may cause cognitive and psychomotor impairment, serious adverse events, and long-term dependence, it is still controversial whether sleep medications are the first choice for patients with insomnia. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for sleep is limited by poor access, high cost, and poor response in some patients. With the development of sleep neuroscience, physical therapy has shown its advantages in treating insomnia. It can not only avoid the adverse reactions of drugs, but also make up for the lack of standardization of sleep cognitive behavioral therapy. In particular, non-invasive nerve stimulation technology has been increasingly used in the clinical treatment of insomnia in recent years. However, the public lacks understanding of the technology type, principle and efficacy of this treatment strategy, and the research reviews are insufficient, which may limit the choice of insomnia treatment for sleep workers. Therefore, we reviewed the latest research on non-invasive neurostimulation techniques for insomnia in recent years, mainly focusing on virtual reality, biofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation and other novel neuromodulation techniques, with the aim of providing more options for insomnia treatment and looking forward to the future development of sleep science.
